Review by Gabriel Louzada

The album "3 Concertos Pour Flute Orchestre" featuring compositions by Jacques Ibert, André Jolivet, Jean Rivier, and performance by Jean-Pierre Rampal, is an excellent showcase of the flute's versatility and musicality. The album includes three concertos, each with its unique style and character, showcasing the composers' distinctive approaches to the instrument.

The first concerto, written by Jacques Ibert, is a lively and energetic piece that captures the flute's playful nature. The second concerto, composed by André Jolivet, is a more introspective and contemplative work that explores the flute's expressive capabilities. The final concerto, by Jean Rivier, is a dynamic and virtuosic piece that showcases the flute's technical prowess.

Throughout the album, Jean-Pierre Rampal's performance is outstanding, demonstrating his mastery of the instrument and his ability to convey the nuances of each composition. The orchestral accompaniment is also excellent, providing a rich and varied backdrop for the flute's melodies.
