Mozart: Concerto pour flûte et harpe KV 299

As Jean-Pierre Rampal’s centenary approaches, we highlight here a little-known aspect of his career: his talent as a conductor, which he proved a few times on record, as leader of the Ensemble à vent français, or in this collection of Mozart concertante works as conductor of the English Chamber Orchestra. The Rondo and the concerto for flute and harp are conducted from the flute, the oboe concerto (featuring Pierre Pierlot) from the baton.
