I have chosen Jean Pierre Rampal as my instrument player.
Mr. Rampal is a flute player who was born in 1922 and died on 2000 at age of 78.
He began playing flute at age of 12, under his father's education.
His father was professor of flute at the Marseille Conservatoire and Principal Flute of the Marseille Symphony Orchestra.
Jean studied the Altes method at the Conservatoire of Marseille where he won the first prize in 1937 and also gave his first public recital at the Salle Mazenod i Marseille, only aged 16.
In 1945, Jean was invited by the composer Henri Tomasi, then conductor of the Orchestre National de France, to perform live on French National Radio the demanding Flute Concerto by Jacques Ilbert.
It launched his concert career overnight and was the first of many such broadcasts.
He mostly played Classical musics and also often performed Jazz music.
The two pieces that I watched were the Jazz pieces too.
One was Sentimentale, and the other was Baroque and Blue.
The Sentimentale starts piano flowing through and the flute comes in with very low note.
Which is very hard for us flute players and he has no problem of going up to high note from low note at once.
He is very very very proficient at every note, and I like the way how he slurs and tungs every needed place.
He's melody is very clear and has no air leak.
For flute players, air leaking while playing is a very annoying thing.
It makes sounds sound small, and therefore lowers the level of the piece and the musician.
But his playing was so clear, I loved it.
Vibration is also a very useful skill and I loved how he holded the notes and vibrate.
It was very pretty piece and I want to play it some day, by my self.
