Review by T. Blank

Album Review: Quatre Concertos Pour Flûte by JM Leclair, M Blavet, JC Naudot, M Corrette – A Baroque Gem That Still Shines Alright, let’s talk about this gem from 1971. Quatre Concertos Pour Flûte is one of those albums that kinda sneaks up on you. At first glance, it’s just another classical album—Baroque flute concertos played by some French legends like Jean-Pierre Rampal and the Orchestre De Chambre Jean-François Paillard. But once you hit play, it’s like stepping into a Parisian salon in the 18th century, except you’re wearing headphones instead of a powdered wig. The album’s got all these fancy tracks, but two stuck out to me for different reasons. First up, there’s Concerto En La Mineur Pour Flûte. This one grabs you right away with its Allegro section. It’s not trying too hard—it’s just smooth, elegant, and kinda playful. Rampal’s flute work here feels like he’s having a chat with the strings rather than showing off. You can tell everyone involved was vibing together in the studio (or wherever they recorded back then). The interplay between the flute and the continuo? Man, it’s like a musical handshake that never gets old. Then there’s Largo from Concerto N°6 En Mi Mineur. If I had to pick a moment where time slows down, this would be it. It’s soft, almost whispery, but still packs an emotional punch. There’s something about how Rampal draws out those notes—it’s like he’s telling you a secret, and you don’t even care what it is because the way he says it is so damn beautiful. Honestly, this track makes me wanna sit by a window with a cup of tea and pretend I’m deep or something. What really sells the whole thing is the production quality. Guy Laporte did a solid job recording this; it sounds crisp without being overly polished. And props to Jean-François Paillard for directing—he clearly knew how to keep things tight while letting the music breathe. Even the sleeve design, with that painting by J.-F. Schall, gives off major vintage vibes. It’s the kind of cover art that makes you want to leave the vinyl out on display. Now here’s the kicker: listening to this album made me realize how underrated flute music is. Like, why isn’t everyone walking around humming Baroque flute tunes? Maybe we’ve been sleeping on the flute as a lead instrument for way too long. Or maybe it’s just me noticing this now. Either way, Quatre Concertos Pour Flûte deserves more love. It’s not flashy or groundbreaking, but sometimes simplicity hits harder than anything else. Oh, and fun fact—I kept misreading “Jean-Pierre Rampal” as “Jean-Pierre Rampa,” which made me imagine a totally different vibe. Like, what if he was a rockstar flutist shredding on stage? Anyway, listen to this album if you need a break from whatever chaos life throws at you. It’s basically auditory chamomile tea.

About JM Leclair M Blavet JC Naudot M Corrette JeanPierre Rampal, Orchestre De Chambre JeanFrançois Paillard

French baroque violinist and composer (Lyon May 10, 1697 - Paris October 22, 1764). Also known as Jean-Marie Leclair the Elder (Jean-Marie Leclair dit L'Aîné). He studied the violin in Turin, Italy. From 1723, he played at the Concert Spirituel in Paris, the main semi-public music series. In 1733, he was named "ordinaire de la musique" by Louis XV, but he resigned in 1737 after a clash with Guidon over control of the musique du Roy. Leclair was then engaged by the Princess of Orange, and from 1738 until 1743 he served three months annually at her court in The Hague. He returned to Paris in 1743, where his only opera "Scylla et Glaucus" was first performed in 1746. From 1740 until his death, he served the Duke of Gramont. In 1764, he was found stabbed to death near his small house in a dangerous Parisian neighborhood. Leclair was renowned as a violinist and as a composer: many suites, sonatas and concertos survive along with his opera, while some vocal works, ballets, and other stage music is lost. His brothers Jean-Marie Leclair the Younger (170377), Pierre Leclair (170984) and Jean-Benoît (1714-after 1759) were also musicians.n

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Quatre Concertos Pour Flûte* is a hidden gem from 1971, featuring flute virtuoso Jean-Pierre Rampal. It’s pure French Baroque magic, conducted by Jean-François Paillard with his chamber orchestra. What makes it special? The recording showcases music from composers like Leclair and Blavet, who were stars in their time but aren’t as well-known today. Fun detail—the sleeve art was inspired by an 18th-century painting, tying the whole thing to its classical roots. If you love intricate melodies and rich history, this one’s worth a listen.
