First time on CD

One of the world’s most recorded classical artists, Jean-Pierre Rampal worked with numerous labels throughout his career, just over forty in all! But of course, one of the most important contracts signed by Jean-Pierre Rampal in the early sixties was the one binding him to one of the most prestigious labels, Philips. Signing for such a reputed, universally distributed label was a fantastic chance. Philips had also judged accurately, by signing when he was just hitting forty, Rampal was already the world’s greatest flautist. Robert Stallman, one of his disciples at the Nice Summer Academy in the late 60’s, expressed it clearly, “It was a shock to hear such virtuosity. Back in the sixties, Rampal was in incredible form. Not a flautist in the world could compete with him.”
