When one quotes the big flutists, whether it is of day before yesterday (Moyse, Roy, Gaubert, Caratgé, Crunelle, Dufrêne) or of yesterday (Rampal, Bourdin, Marion, Debost, Larded, Larrieu), it would be necessary that people get used to adding to it Jean-Pierre Eustache!
I understand that you are proud of your father.

Revelation of a Flutist Vivaldi: Six concertos for flute and cord Op10

After concertos and symphonias of Janigro ( Amadéo) and Kurt Redel ( Erato's ) seasons, it is my third big moment vivaldien for ten months. Not that the Tempesta di puddle, the Night, Chardonnet (or their three anonymous brothers) are revelations, but the virtuosity and Jean-Pierre Eustache's brilliant tone are one of it, and importance. It is true that he is at good school: it(he) plays in the pit of the Orchestra of the opera of Paris, in quoted(esteemed) by Jean-Pierre Rampal.

VIVALDI reveals Jean-Pierre Eustache

Still Vivaldi? You go to say maybe. Eh! Yes but lives Vivaldi when he is also interpreted well , registered and presented. Here is one of the best discs which were dedicated to him(her) for a long time (and god knows that he appears there a lot). Works are far from being new: it is about six concertos for flute of Op. 10 - three of them at least are famous, very helped in it by their titles: the Tempesta di puddle, Noted and the Goldfinch. Revelation will be, for the record collectors, the young flutist Jean-Pierre Eustache (of whom(which) it is first recording) 31 years, First prize of Conservatoire and 2-nd price for Geneva, it(he) plays at present in the Orchestra of the Opera of Paris and the R.T.F. It(he) possesses a tone magnificently round and pure, a breath which seems inexhaustible and a completed virtuosity which makes forget nevertheless to lead us towards air enjoyments.

Classical vinyl par Jean Roy - Télérama du 12 mai 1963

Opus 10 understands(includes) three descriptive concertos (the Storm, Nuite, the Goldfinch) and three not titled concertos, what does not make them less suggestive and attractive than the first three. In here is an excellent interpretation, elegant and moderate. The tone of the soloist is very beautiful, and the virtuosity is never sought artificially. I love this moderation and this respect for the text; I love also that these concertos are treated with a sense(direction) of the beauty meaning and balanced which stands out(goes out again) it elegance and ruler harmony

Critique de la Revue du disque n° 122 - 1961

Here is engraved supervised by Roland Douatte, a "muscular" version where the implementation of every line(feature) appears as the nervure of a construction rigorous, without defect in the continuance of every work. Let us say at once that this remarkable rhythmic impulse in the six concertos of the red priest, put only better in evidence the round dance tone, the quivering sensibility of the soloist Jean-Pierre Eustache (" Sicilian of Goldfinch "). - The game of the soloist marries with happiness all the intentions of the leader. The easy and " ever free " virtuosity takes our conviction in the fast shutters(sectors) and its methodical delicacy, the warm tone create an attractive climate. - The soloist is present without excess and the orchestra, very audible in every part including the continuo, centred well.

T.M.C - Caen - décembre 1966
Quality and elegance


For the monthly December concert, the Orchestra of Caen reserved us a pleasant surprise: a program of choice, the brilliant soloists. Under Jean-Pierre Dautel's baguette, the musician Caennais gave evidence of thoughtlessness, virtuosity. And so Haydn's " morning symphony " seemed to us under a lighting of the most delicate, fact of very sensitive nuances. With the famous " Concerto for flute, harp and orchestra " of Mozart, Lily Laskine and J.P Eustache, the two invited soloists of this evening, stood out(went out again) all the refinement of a work of salon quite tinged with the personality of her author. But the most pleasant moment of evening was doubtless the interpretation of in Debussy by Lily Laskine. The harpist, very well accompanied, made the display of the used(employed) well virtuosity. What is very rare. Certainly, no dissonance in this qualitative evening.


T.M.C - Caen - décembre 1966
An evening of a rare quality under the baguette of J-D. DAUTEL


Two soloists of senior form, an attractive and varied program, a chamber orchestra got(touched) by the grace(favour), Voila many(well) of that to make a concert except series. The T.M.C. was packed on Friday and the heat of the applause, the enthusiasm were the just reward of a quality, a perfection one can say without any rather exceptional exaggeration. Symphony " the Morning " of Haydn which began program was played by the musicians of the chamber orchestra of Caen, with a sharpness, a stunning thoughtlessness. It(he) is always possible for an orchestra to make a lot of noise, but " pianissimi " on the other hand is infinitely more difficult. Now, Jean-Pierre Dautel, managed to obtain from his orchestra a delicacy of nuances, an extreme aeration of the phrasé which made in the morning, of the good dad Haydn a magnificent sound lace. I love rather little Hindemith usually and nevertheless 5 details(rooms) for orchestra with ropes enthused me. Maybe because the interpretation of the chamber orchestra in easing the roughnesses of the counterpoint often very later of the author of " Mathis the painter " stood out(went out again) it the meaning side. Lily Laskine one is accustomed with concerts Caennais, and it is always with pleasure that one finds this so pleasant artist, if I found a little too much held(retained) the time when she(it) adopted for him(it,her) " flute and harp " mozartien, on the other hand the dances of Debussy were one of the big moments of this remarkable evening. Jean-Pierre Eustache is a part of the main platoon of the big French flutists, he allies a perfect musicality to a tone of a very special softness, who seems almost weak at first sight but who "door" in a extraordinary way Gretry's concerto gave a sensational proof of it.

T.M.C - Caen - décembre 1966
The Concert


Be very numerous music lovers of Chamber, this most enriching and the most subtle shape of musical communication, had on Friday , December 9 the privilege of a concert of big quality. A balanced program, a worn-out orchestra in demanding disciplines of this precise and intimate shape of art among all, a leader whose warned and sophisticated musicality expresses itself with sober one authority, two soloists of senior form, everything contributed(competed) to make of this evening a success. Difficult Symphony n ° 6 of Haydn, real " musical landscape " was interpreted with an understanding very sure of a text which unites melodic and rhythmic grace(favour) with a rigorous architectural development. Nevertheless, the instrumental set(group) of Jean-Pierre Dautel which presides over its fates had to overcome particularly dabs this work of difficulties appropriate(clean) for the composition of the orchestra which suffers from a light sound gap caused with the number restricts violins with regard to basses, and which(whom) it has to mitigate by a constant attentiveness. The addition of two or three violins would give certainly more safety(security) to this remarkable set(group) the city of Caen of which can be proud in many respects, any comparisons made with the other regional or foreign sets(groups). Five Hindemith's details(rooms) allowed the orchestra to give the measure of its sound palette. Claude Macaux, leader finds there a climate particularly favorable to its indisputable authority and to its tone. Jean-Pierre Eustache, flutist, gave of Gretry's concerto a remarkable interpretation. A perfect musicality served with a technique without defect, a warm tone of which we would love for our part an use sometimes more subtle are the characteristics of a talent which should not be demonstrated any more. We believe to be able to indicate that too numerous velvet curtains on the scene which "swallow" in a sense the pointed, were able a little to sometimes falsify sound plans: this small defect of acoustics of a room the sound system of which is nevertheless completed should be corrected easily pat the implanting of a suited decoration. Lily Laskine is the embodiment of the music and by her only presence with a climate of certainty and relaxation absolved for the listener. Admirably followed in all the intentions by the orchestra, she(it) recreated for us in the dances of Debussy the atmosphere of dream in which soaks this work which can a little seem ésotérique to a public less warned than the one that, by the quality of the attention, joined strictly in l moving interpretation of these right-hand pages. Mozart's concerto for harp and flute, masterfully interpreted, ended program. The enthusiasm of the auditors and their numerous reminders were worth us a second hearing of Andantino. Jean-Pierre Eustache and the orchestra completely relaxed joined in their prestigious partner to make of this "encore" a moment of absolute musical beauty.
