Wonderful.......2000-06-17
Being a flutist and having listened to many recordings by J.P. Rampal, I must confess my admiration for him and for the way he played. Apart from being an excellent performer in the classical field (with more than 300 recordings), he showed many times that he could take up other styles with great success (for example in Bolling's suite for flute and jazz piano trio and in Scott Joplin's rags). In this case, we have some very interesting arrangements from famous pieces by George Gershwin. Although some people might prefer the original version for some of them (like An American in Paris), I think that this CD is very worth considering. A great tribute to one of the best composers of the XX century. Enjoy!
Wonderful music.......2000-04-07
Despite what some people may say, Gershwin's music is simply outstanding, with its jazzy harmonies and thrilling sense of rhythm. In this CD we have some brilliant pieces like "An American in Paris", "I got rhythm" or "Summertime" -listen to it very carefully-, in an arrangement for flute (also alto flute) and orchestral accompaniment. The result is, from my point of view, just marvellous. Rampal does his best with this music and shows that he can play it in a very convincing way. Though you may prefer the full orchestral version of some of the pieces (specially "An American in Paris"), this arrangement is very worth considering. And at this price it is very hard to beat it.

Not the best choice.......2002-11-02
Rampal has the most beautiful playing style I have ever heard. Unfortunately, he wastes it here on Gershwin and Joplin. Those pieces are excellent in their own right, but they weren't written for flute, and for good reason. Even so, they might be okay on an album comprised of music within the genre, but there is no discernible common thread to all the pieces on this CD. If you want Rampal, there are plenty of other options; my personal preference is the "Best of Jean-Pierre Rampal," which also has Faure's "Berceuse" (one of my favorites), Vivaldi's "Il Cardellino," and Bach's "Sicilienne," along with several other gorgeous classical pieces.
