Format:Audio CD
Absolutely stunning playing. There are many modern interpretations which are very good, but Rampal's Bach, even after all these years, surpasses them all. His mastery of the instrument (clear sound, enormous dynamic range, subtly shifting tone colours)coupled with his emotional engagement with Bach's music make this recording essential listening. If you want to really get under the skin of these sonatas, this is the recording you need. Many young players (and sometimes, their teachers!) struggle to make sense of and interpret these sonatas, especially the unaccompanied Partita in A minor - but just listen to Rampal and you will "get it". The playing is simply lovely - and so inspired.

Excellent recording of 4 Flute Sonatas (BWV 1030, 1031, 1033, 1034) of the complete 6 Flute Sonatas (BWV 1030-1035), with the addition of the Partita for Flute BWV 1013, and the Flute Trio Sonata ( BWX 1039) for 2 flutes and Continuo. An add recording with very good sound.

Rampal and Bach sonatas
23 Oct 2007
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This CD features Rampal at the height of his solo career. Surface listening reveals perfect intonation and rhythm. If one digs a little deeper, one appreciates subtleties of playing that can't be mimicked without considerable talent, e.g. pure tone perfect for Baroque music, perfect attacks and releases, vibrato that varies from fast to slow at just the right moments, delightful phrasing and articulation. I do think that Rampal plays a bit fast in the allegro sections, simply because he can, and is not as true to Baroque flute playing in that regard. The sound quality of the CD itself is very good. I would recommend this to any classical music/flute fan.

hard to beat
6 July 2011
Format:Audio CD
This was one of the first CDs I purchased when converting from vinyl back in the dawn of recorded history (well, okay, 1986). Its been treasured ever since. Rampal, in his prime, plus his long-time accomplice Robert Veyron-LaCroix, and several others. After ignoring the program notes for all these years, I was surprised and pleased to discover no less than Jordi Savall as one of these "others"...hardly an "other"!
The playing is tremendous, sprightly and spirited. The total antidote to those who perpetuate the perception of Bach as a dour old man.
I can't comment proficiently on Rampal's tempi or tone relative to more "authentic" renditions of baroque flute music. While his speeds may be faster than typical authentic performances and modern flute timbre different(evident even to a layperson) this doesn't detract in the slightest from its tremendous appeal. Anyway, I've always kindof perceived this CD as a "JS Bach/JP Rampal production." Purists mightn't think they should get equal billing, but they really do.
Lastly, can't beat the price and the generous length. If you like Flute, Bach and Rampal, what's stopping you?

Can be better
30 April 2010
Format:Audio CD
This is a well done recording. Rampal goes through even the most technical parts without almost no signs of struggle. The tone is very expressive and bright. However, the interpretation and overall balance can be better. Many pieces seems to be very fast (especially unaccompanied suite), and harpsichord and viola da gamba are totally dominated by the flute.
I think Frans Bruggen's recording is the best for JS's flute sonatas with more balanced accompaniment.
