Contemplations Glassberg Erato

Jean-Pierre Rampal is often considered the greatest flutist of the modern era. In addition to his exceptional talent, he raised the flute to unprecedented solo status, popularizing the flute literature, the flute recital and flute recordings. The rediscovery of the Baroque, Classical and Romantic repertoire for the flute is one of his outstanding achievements, as well as his numerous collaborations with composers; over 100 works have been written for and premiered by him.

Ushering in a new golden era for the flute as solo instrument, Jean-Pierre Rampal secured his place in the classical music firmament as the greatest flautist of the modern era. Over 25 years (1954-1982), the French virtuoso’s fruitful collaboration with Erato grew into a truly exceptional achievement in recording history: an encyclopedia of flute music in vital performances that have remained the benchmark for generations. The first complete reissue of these recordings represents the most important collection ever dedicated to a single flautist. After all, it was Jean-Pierre Rampal that taught us to love the flute.

Ohana’s music is not easy, for sure; but it possesses a remarkable power to impress, to question and – more importantly – to communicate. He was a highly personal, sincere and utterly honest composer who painstakingly ploughed his furrow regardless of any current fashion, but who remained attentive to what was going on around him as a musician and as a man. This release provides a fair introduction to Ohana’s personal sound-world; and, as such, is warmly recommended to anyone who might like to explore this important composer’s music at lesser expense. My bargain of the month.
