Synopsis

In this penetrating and original essay, Roberto Barreca offers a radical rethinking of musical interpretation through the figure of Jean-Pierre Rampal. Moving beyond the conventional boundaries of musicology, Barreca develops a bold aesthetic vision in which sound itself becomes the ultimate locus of meaning.

Rampal’s flute, in this perspective, is not merely an instrument but a metaphysical medium: a vehicle through which beauty manifests in its purest, most elusive form—at once disembodied and sensuous, fluid and inexhaustible. Through a series of refined and often provocative analyses, Barreca explores the paradoxes of interpretation: freedom and rigor, expression and correctness, virtuosity and truth.

From Bach to Vivaldi, from Telemann to Khachaturian, the essay traverses a vast musical landscape, uncovering hidden aesthetic regions and proposing a new “history of music” grounded not in chronology or authorship, but in the internal logic of beauty. Central to this vision is the concept of “intersection”: the rare and luminous coincidence between the poetic world of the performer and that of the work.

Blending phenomenology, psychoanalytic insight, and a deeply personal listening experience, Rampal and the Metaphysics of Sound challenges established doctrines and invites the reader into a richer, more profound encounter with music—where sound is not a means, but the essence itself.

Roberto Barreca is a musician, philosopher, psychologist, and psychotherapist.
