{"product_id":"fascinatin-rampal-rampal-pl","title":"FASCINATIN' RAMPAL - RAMPAL PL","description":"...From Franck to Gershwin is a big jump and especially Gershwin as played by Jean-Pierre Rampal in a new CBS collection called \"Fascinatin' Rampal\". It opens, appropriately, with a deliciously embroidered account of Fascinatin' rhythm and includes transcriptions for flute backed by a small or orchestral group (and occasionally a synthesizer) of favourite Gershwin songs, plus an eight-minute potpourri taken from An American in Paris (made to sound unusually elegant). In the nostalgic numbers Rampal's approach is positively sultry (notably Summertime, taken indulgently slowly, and The man I love), but with very polished support by members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Michel Colombier this is very seductive. The balance is artificially forward in the manner of a pop session but Rampal's larger-than-life flute timbre sounds gorgeous. A fun [album] ideal for late evening, and especially as a background for a dinner party.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e -- Gramophone [2\/1986]\u003cbr\u003e   \u003ci\u003ereviewing the cassette release of this album\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CBS Masterworks","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49606362628376,"sku":"074643970020","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/271042.jpg?v=1777908215","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/fascinatin-rampal-rampal-pl","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
