Jean-Pierre Rampal was a legendary French flautist who found his successor in the Catalan Claudi Arimany, with whom he performed and recorded on numerous occasions. Claudi Arimany has been performing as a soloist with leading orchestras for decades, as well as reviving forgotten compositions and teaching. This time he will be joined by Pedro José Rodríguez (with whom he performed at the 69th Ljubljana Festival), one of the most prominent pianists in Basque Spain, who gives regular concerts throughout Europe and is deeply involved in Pamplona’s musical life, and the flautist Eduard Sánchez, an internationally renowned soloist and professor in Barcelona, who frequently performs at prestigious international festivals. The trio will present rarely heard flute compositions from the Romantic period, including works by Theobald Böhm, Friedrich Kuhlau, Franz Doppler, Gioacchino Rossini (arranged by Böhm) and Karl Doppler, as well as three adapted movements from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s fairy-tale opera The Magic Flute. Special mention should be made of Böhm, a German inventor and virtuoso musician who is credited with developing the valve system and the resulting significant improvements to the modern transverse flute, demonstrating that it is possible to better “imitate” the human voice.
