5.0 out of 5 stars
Flutist extraordinaire!
Years ago, I had an old cassette tape of Jean Pierrre Rampal that was a treasured favorite. I had forgotten what an exceptionally talented flutist he was and how he could make the flute "sing." This CD brings his talent alive in not only classical music but modern pieces as well. Adieu Rampal.

Not the best choice
Rampal has the most beautiful playing style I have ever heard. Unfortunately, he wastes it here on Gershwin and Joplin. Those pieces are excellent in their own right, but they weren't written for flute, and for good reason. Even so, they might be okay on an album comprised of music within the genre, but there is no discernible common thread to all the pieces on this CD...

If you want Rampal, there are plenty of other options; my personal preference is the "Best of Jean-Pierre Rampal," which also has Faure's "Berceuse" (one of my favorites), Vivaldi's "Il Cardellino," and Bach's "Sicilienne," along with several other gorgeous classical pieces.
