Chandos signed Karen Geoghegan as an exclusive artist in 2007 following her appearance on BBC TV’s programme Classical Star. The expressive maturity and sensitivity of her playing have quickly cemented her status as a rising star. The magazine Gramophone wrote: ‘Name five internationally famous bassoon soloists: Archie Camden, Gwydion Brooke and er, that’s it. Except I think we shall soon be adding the name of Karen Geoghegan to the roll call.’ In this her fifth disc for Chandos, she plays a variety of works by Schubert, Schumann, Spohr, Schreck, Rachmaninoff, and Elgar. Only Schreck’s Sonata was originally written for bassoon but all the pieces demonstrate the great lyrical and expressive quality of the instrument. Karen Geoghegan is accompanied by the pianist Philip Edward Fisher.
