Just as the recordings that Jean-Pierre Rampal dedicated to Vivaldi as a flautist, this album, in which he now takes up the baton to accompany Jean-Louis Beaumadier in the famed concertos for small flute by the Red Priest, stands as an evergreen classic of the Vivaldian discography, more than 40 years after its release. Offering as a bonus a previously unreleased live recording that unites all the greatest flautists from the renowned class of Joseph Rampal in Marseille, this new reissue takes on a historical dimension as captivating as the interpretations recorded by the one who served as piccolo soloist with the National Orchestra of France for twelve years.

On this album, we have an unreleased track of Rampal on the flute and discover him conducting, to which he dedicated himself at the end of his life.
