signed an exclusive contract with the CBS label (later Sony Classical), and he made over 60 albums for them. The compact disc set Jean-Pierre Rampal: Le premier virtuose moderne, issued in France in 2002 in collaboration with the Association Française de la Flûte, contains rare early performances from 78 rpm records made from 1946 to 1959. The Association Jean-Pierre Rampal has re-issued a number of early recordings (on the Premier Horizons label and elsewhere), including his 1954 recording of the concerto by Feld, and a range of recordings he made between 1954 and 1966 with orchestras conducted by Karl Ristenpart, with whom he enjoyed a close collaboration. These include works by Vivaldi, Bach, Handel, Tartini, Mozart, Arma, and Jolivet. In 2015, the Complete Erato Recordings made by Rampal were reissued, containing a wealth of material on the label for which he recorded extensively from the early 1950s to the early 1980s. These three volumes, comprising over 40 CDs (vo.1: 1954–63, vol.2: 1963–69, vol.3: 1970–82), stand alongside the Complete HMV Recordings (1951–76 on 12 CDs) also re-issued under the Erato label. In 2017 the release of the double CD Jean-Pierre Rampal in Prague: the Complete Supraphon Recordings specifically marked his landmark collaboration in the mid-1950s with Czech conductor and flutist Milan Munclinger. Containing the first recordings of concertos by Benda, Richter, Stamitz and Feld, together with the Prokofiev sonata and other pieces, this collection registers the rise of the young Rampal at the peak of his powers. In 2022, to mark the centenary of Rampal’s birth, Sony Classical, in collaboration with Association Jean-Pierre Rampal, issued its collection ‘'Jean-Pierre Rampal: The Complete CBS Masterworks Recordings. Across 56 CDs, this box-set features recordings that Rampal made through the second half of his career, between 1969 and 1996, a period that saw his recording interests transferred to the American company CBS after his earlier and lengthy partnership with the French label Erato. Although the bulk of the CBS recordings are from the classical repertoire, there are also several cross-over albums (e.g. music by Bolling, Gershwin, Joplin, etc). Among many highlights, the collection charts Rampal’s collaboration with American pianist John Steele Ritter, who in the late 1970s took over as his principal accompanist once illness had caused long-time recital partner Robert Veyron Lacroix to step back from touring.
