Give a look to my channel. You'll find many others videos by Rampal.

How privileged you are for having learned from this master. Now itcs up to people like you to keep the music alive !

[@francisschwartz1641]

Maestro Rampal was a superb musician. His artistry has been a delight and also a great learning experience for those who listen carefully. A constant joy for us.

[@andrewedwards6233]

A beautiful performance showing the Sonata's proper expression.

[@pierresaintgervais1937]

Rampal for ever and ever

[@frankrotella772]

A wonderful player, don’t know why he drank so much. There was a story, Rampal was playing at Carnegie Hall, completely wasted. Gave a remarkable concert, walked off stage. Marcel Moyse was there backstage. Moyse said to Rampal, when are you going to stop playing like a fool! Tom Nyfenger was there too. They were all friends. Tom turned Rampal around to go back onstage to take his bows. 😂

[@richardvolet3970]

I know nothing about Rampal drinking or the veracity of this story. But watching this closeup video reminds me how wonderful Tom Nyfenger's imitation of Rampal's playing was! He captured so much of Rampal's body use, facial expression and sound. I would have loved to see him demonstrate to Rampal. This performance is a breath fresh air. It's performed with that refined French classicism of the time, the easy technique of these two great musicians. Nothing is ever exaggerated, yet all the phrasing and color is there. Technique has of of course advanced over the years, but the simple, refined, musical honesty is mostly gone.

[@frankrotella772]

The story was told from Tom Nyfenger

[@frankrotella772]

@@richardvolet3970 Tom Nyfenger told that story to my uncle who was his student. Tom also drank, not to huge excess. He invited my uncle to his house on a sat morning for breakfast. Steak and eggs with red wine. They then began playing duets. Tom mentioned that the joyful, free feeling after the wine should always be there when playing.

@@richardvolet3970I agree playing today lacks the clarity of the french school, even the lineage of Kincaid had a substance that has diminished drastically today in my opinion.

@@richardvolet3970 Do you have any info on Tom’s platinum headjoint Powell flute you could share? Would love to learn more. Thanks

C’mon KZbin! If youre going to do ads thats fine but could you wait until the end of a movement? You’re just showing your uncultured ignorance!

Jean-Pierre Rampal est le dédicataire de cette sonate créée le 18 Juin 1957 au Festival de Strasbourg.

Monsieur Rampal, quel maître...!

[@wolfgangvanchopin4093]

@@farrier53 oui effectivement ! Il est un trés bon joueur de flute

[@379val]

Tis. An honor to one of the true masters of the instrument.

[@verocimil]

That is a pure vibrant expression of vividness in life! What a timbre and plasticity!

Quando credo di essere bravino ascolto Rampal e torno a studiare 😔🙄🤷🙂🙃 grazie per il bellissimo documento ❤

[@AndresGonzalezArchitect]

Que pena es escuchar algo tan bonito interrumpido por publicidad… al menos podrían estar programados los anuncios para no interrumpir y que aparecieran al final de los movimientos …

[@dmytrognativ2163]

Thank you for recording!!

[@edwardburd6900]

Everyone should watch Rampal's hands and arm positions. No extraneous motions interfering with embouchure and lip control. No dancing fingers (except for the left pinkie).

[@379val]

Perfect form. His upper register play is impeccable. As a amateur, Mr. RAMPAL IS the gold standard for me.

[@Flutengo]

One of the greatest flautist the world has ever seen. His recordings will last forever. Thanks Mr. Rampal Sir. 🙏🏽

[@ПръчкоПръчлев]

!!!!!! Really why? thats was very worse performance and there is no need to be professional flutist to see and hear that.For sure cant be called "greatest" !

Quel merveilleux document...!!merci..!!!!

[@AB-rb2hk]

Posso chiedere a quale anno all’incirca può risalire questa esecuzione? grazie a chi risponderà.

[@madrigal1956]

L'hanno registrato per un disco del 1967 ; probabilmente questo video sarà della stessa epoca ma non ne so più

[@BertenDHollander]

Maybe the last one of the ‘French School’…

[@stefanocontiflutechannel6812]

The last of French school' I think is Larrieu.

[@florianpfeiffer2557]

Le timbre de rampal sonne comme un farfadet!

[@alexalves6752]

His embouchure does not change externally. Interesting.

[@andrewedwards6233]

@Alex Alves, May I point out that there are plenty of changes going on. But because of the face on aspect of the film and its age it is difficult to see. If you watch the video of him playing the Enesco Cantabile and Presto where there are shots from the side you can see it much better.
