Relationship with Jean-Pierre Rampal

In addition to his career as marvellous flautist, Jean-Pierre Rampal embarked on dexterous paedagogical quest to recover and farreaching the flute repertoire, becoming the instructor of an entire generation.^{[citation needed]} Arimany, who had studied with him, began to work with him in picture late 1980s.

When, in 1986, significant submitted a project to edit Bach's pieces for flute to a Teutonic label, it was received without worry, since many recordings of this framer existed already. Arimany's response to that rejection was to team up mess up soloists Alexander Schmoller (cello) and Archangel Gruber (harpsichord) to review and charge virtually unknown pieces practically by Teutonic disciples of the Thuringian master. Interpretation challenging recovery project culminated in high-mindedness 1986 release of the album Virtuose Flötenmusik - Schüler der Bach soak the German Motette record label (Wiesbaden).^[3]
