Carl Joachim Andersen
Danish flautist, composer and conductor, Carl Joachim Andersen (1847-1909) was a virtuoso musician and acclaimed composer of flute music. From 1869-1878, he played for the Royal Danish Orchestra. He then moved to St Petersburg and joined the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1881, he moved to Berlin where he played in the flute section of the Royal German Opera. Whilst in Berlin, he became a co-founder and member of the Berlin Philharmonic. His compositional output consists of 67 works mainly for the flute.
Jean-Pierre-Rampal-Flautist
Jean-Pierre Rampal (1922-2000) renowned French flautist toured internationally, recorded a vast array of works involving the flute and in later years, took up conducting.
Rampal won a place to study at the Paris Conservatoire and later founded the French Wind Quintet before becoming Principal Flute of the Paris Opéra (1956–62). In 1968 he took up the post of Flute Professor at the Paris Conservatoire.
He enhanced the status of the flute as a concert instrument through his vast number of recordings from Baroque masterpieces to jazz. He was particularly known for his authentic interpretations of 18th Century music and for his editing skills with the music of the Baroque period.
Rampal’s autobiography, ‘Music, My Love’, was published in 1989.
