Rampal, 'Prince of Flute Players'

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

French flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal has probably made more records than any other soloist and has been given personal credit for making the flute the popular instrument it is today, yet in Britain, he remains something of a neglected personality. Musician Andrew Marriner meets
Jean-Pierre Rampal , and with help from William BENNETT. ELENA DURAN. ISAAC STERN and many recordings, presents a portrait of this celebrated flute player.
Written and produced by PETER GRIFFITHS
