About Rampal, Jean-Pierre

One of the twentieth century's greatest flute players, Jean-Pierre Rampal brought the flute into the international concert circuit for the first time. His technique and his musicianship attracted loyal audiences around the globe, drawn especially to his famous tone and his ability to project subtle nuances: as one reviewer wrote, "...the Rampal tone [is] as appealing as ever: firm, rounded, richly varied within the natural scope of the instrument's capabilities, which, in fact, Rampal has redefined and expanded for modern audiences and for other flutists." His talent was complimented by his boundless energy and his tireless promotion of the flute, which together succeeded in developing an international market for flute music unlike any seen since the eighteenth century.
