Review by Evan Sims

Fluitconcerten by Devienne: A Baroque Gem That Still Shines If you’re into classical music with a dash of Baroque flair, Fluitconcerten by François Devienne is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. Released back in 1976 in the Netherlands under Erato Records, this record feels like stepping into an old European salon where powdered wigs were probably still a thing. Jean-Pierre Rampal takes center stage on flute, backed by Jean-François Paillard’s Chamber Orchestra. Together, they bring Devienne’s compositions to life in ways that are both elegant and refreshingly human. Let me cut straight to two tracks that stuck with me—Allegro and Rondo Allegretto. Now, I’m no expert (let’s be real here), but there’s something about how Rampal plays the flute in Allegro. It’s not just fast; it’s got this playful bounce to it, like he’s having fun while showing off his chops. Paillard’s orchestra keeps things tight without stealing the spotlight, which is exactly what good accompaniment should do. You can almost picture some fancy aristocrat tapping their foot awkwardly in approval. Then there’s Rondo Allegretto, which flips the vibe completely. This track has more charm than a puppy in boots. The melody loops around itself so smoothly, you might find yourself humming along even if you don’t know what “rondo” means. Rampal’s tone stays crisp, but there’s also this warmth—it’s like listening to someone tell a really good story over tea. Or maybe coffee, depending on your vibe. The production quality isn’t perfect by today’s standards, but honestly? That’s part of its charm. There’s a rawness to it that makes the whole thing feel alive. Plus, props to Gert Udo for the design and illustrations—they give the album cover a classy yet slightly quirky look that matches the music inside. What really gets me thinking, though, is how timeless this stuff feels. Like, here we are in 2023, blasting tunes from nearly 50 years ago based on music written way before that. And somehow, it still hits different. Makes you wonder if people will listen to whatever pop bangers we’ve got now in 2300 and think, “Wow, these ancient humans knew how to vibe.” Weird thought, right? Anyway, whether you’re a hardcore classical nerd or just looking for some chill background music that won’t bore you to tears, Fluitconcerten deserves a spot in your collection. Just don’t blame me if you start randomly quoting French composers at parties.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Fluitconcerten* by Jean-Pierre Rampal and the Chamber Orchestra led by Jean-François Paillard is a gem from 1976. It’s rooted in Baroque-style classical music, but here’s the kicker—it features flute concertos composed by François Devienne, a composer often called the "French Mozart." Fun fact: Devienne was not only a brilliant composer but also a flautist himself, which explains why his music fits the flute like a glove. Jean-Pierre Rampal, one of the greatest flutists ever, brought these pieces back to life with his signature elegance. Oh, and the cover art? That’s by Gert Udo, who added a touch of retro charm to this Netherlands-released masterpiece.
