Jean-Pierre Rampal

French flautist (1922–2000)

Jean-Pierre Louis Rampal (7 January 1922 – 20 May 2000) was a French flautist and conductor. Rampal popularised the flute in the post–World War II years, recovering flute compositions from the Baroque era, and spurring contemporary composers, such as Francis Poulenc, to create new works that have become modern standards in the flautist's repertoire.
