I i The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, February 28. 19855 Flaunting skill as flutist, WEEK9 Rampal still not at best TODAY Even legends have their off nights. That isn't to say flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal's performance in Memorial Hall Tuesday night was a particular letdown. In fact, Rampal and accom panist John Steele Ritter, on harpsi chord, received a standing ovation and did three encores at the end of the concert, the third in the Carolina Concerts series sponsored by the Carolina Union. But Rampal and Ritter seemed to have a tough time staying together during the first half of the program, which included particularly challenging works from composers of the baroque period. Rampal began the program with Antonio Vivaldi's Sonata in G minor. Op. 1 3, No. 6. Although music scholar and composer Luigi Dallapiccola has accused Vivaldi of writing one concerto 600 times, the piece was exciting and vibrant, especially the brief Fuga da Capella of the second movement. The difficulty Rampal and Ritter had with playing in unison became more apparent in the second piece on the program, the Sonata in G major. Op. I, No. 5, by George Frideric Handel. Part of the problem was due to the breakneck pace Rampal took in the Allegro and Menuetto. For one thing, he could not keep an even tempo, which left Ritter struggling to stay with him. Perhaps the pieces that suffered the most were two flute sonatas by J.S. Bach. The Sonata in E-flat major and the Sonata in E minor also posed the greatest challenges to Rampal; more than any other baroque compositions, the works of Bach cry out for musical phrasing of melodic lines, terrace dynamics and a clarity in the sound of each individual note. Because Rampal took the fast move ments at such a quick tempo, however, much of these elements was lost. In some cases, Rampal went so fast he even flubbed some of the trickier passages. After intermission, Rampal and Steve Carr Review Steele fared considerably better, but there was a marked contrast in the musicality of the pieces themselves. The second half was much more of a showcase for Rampal's impeccable technique. The Duo Concertante, Op. 129, by Carl Czerny was full of dazzling glissandi and arpeggios, showing off Ritter along with Rampal. But the piece was just that showy. It lacked the depth of the works in the first half. The Duo Concertante did. however, set the mood for the next piece, a ragtime medley by American composer Scott Joplin. As musical and challeng ing as the Czerny composition, the medley nevertheless seemed another opportunity for Rampal to show off. Performing something as recognizable as the "Maple Leaf Rag" seemed calculated to please the audience. The last piece on the program, Genin's Variations on "Carnival of Venice", Op. 14, was one of many versions of the famous theme, perhaps best known to Americans as "How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?" This piece was pure showmanship, with a rousing finale involving flutter tongued octaves. By this time, both Rampal and Ritter seemed relaxed and comfortable. One of the encores, a movement from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Sonata in A minor was absolutely stunning in its intonation and phrasing. The concert was by no means a disaster, and the audience was especially receptive to the second half of the program. Perhaps it is because the Carolina Concerts series maintains such a high level of excellence that Rampal's performance seemed just one notch below his reputation.
