I love how the masterclass incorporated the techniques used in the pieces afterwards. How did I not truly notice the first time around? I just got a new but inexpensive flute recently, and I'm going to try to start playing again after 20+ years. Maybe my musical brain and soul are beginning to kick in on a different level. 😊 Thank you for sharing this. It's very inspiring. ❤
I've been listening to Rampal since the 1980-ties. During the last 50 years or so,I discovered many other top flutists, but in the end,I always turn back to Rampal to know how a classical piece should sound.
Wonderful! Bolling's suites deserve interpretational liberties beyond what he and Rampal et al played, and you have done this marvelously - especially the piano variations. I have no doubt that Bolling and Rampal would themselves be delighted with this performance. Bravo! If you have done other Claude Bolling suite movements, I beg to hear them too!
Thank you Gasper. I had the privilege of studying with George Pope during high school. I met you at one of his master classes. I remember this exercise and have Mr. Pope to thank for so many tone color explorations and musical imagery. Mr. Pope is an exquisite flutist and a beautiful teacher. He brought out the best in me and provided a safe place for my soul to express. Thank you for sharing this!
He's my favorite flutist among the greats. Maybe it was because I was so young when I heard him play. How natural. He has that certain something special. He owns each piece. Something about how he articulates a piece, I love it. Listening to his arpeggios , and OMG he explains how he does it. What a gift.
I had the oportunity to work with Jean Pierre and also playing with him. We became very good friends and workt together at the Accademi d'Ete a Nice and I was his host when he recieved the Soning Price in Denmark. He was encredible in all aspects, as a musician and a human being.
Wow, Gaspar, this is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your Poulenc with us, this is probably going to be one of my favorite recordings ever of this piece.
Many non-flutists don't realize that Rampal's articulation is what set him apart more than anything else, at least from a technical standpoint. Great video.
3:22 🤩 tonguing practice using only ku(second syllabel of double tonguing) 1:31 there is a sharp moment when the note starts, but at the end of the note make it volumy like a bubble (vibrato) after this gets familiar on single tonguing, then get onto double tonguing practice
Yes, this is one of the Million dollar flute lesson master classes of Jean-Pierre. I have 8 of his bootlegged masterclasses in digital format and every single one of them is a knock out. 1 year of listening to those masterclasses and practicing them, my flute playing skyrocketed. Moreso than the other masterclasses ive done with other flute legends. Rampal was the best flute teacher. Because he knows how to put things in plain english that everyone understands. And he wastes no time.
