Rampal, Jean-Pierre

    0.01 sec.
Rampal, Jean-Pierre, 1922–, French virtuoso flutist. He has played in several chamber groups but is most celebrated as a soloist of great brilliance.

Rampal, Jean-Pierre (-Louis)

(born Jan. 7, 1922, Marseille, France—died May 20, 2000, Paris) French flutist. From 1947 he appeared widely in chamber music and solo recitals. In the 1950s he founded his own chamber groups, while also playing in the pit at the Paris Opéra (1956–62). Works were written for him by Francis Poulenc and others. His sweetness of tone and virtuosity in a largely Baroque repertoire, as evidenced on many admired recordings, made him the first flutist to attain international stardom.
