In 1869 he appeared with his son in one of the concerts that Louis Moreau Gottschalk gave with a line-up of more than thirty pianists. He later became the first teacher of the Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth, born in 1863 .
In addition to piano pieces, Lambert also composed the four-act opera La flamenca based on a libretto by Henri Cain and Eugène Edward Adenis , which was published in 1899 and premiered at the Théâtre Municipal in Paris .
