"More than ably partnered by Philip Fisher, Geoghegan is a spirited advocate of these gems. Her beautiful account of Jancourt’s Nocturne typifies her combination of natural musicality and exquisite tone, while her vivacious approach to Pierné’s Solo de concert and Bitsch’s Concertino underline why, at 19, she is already a marvellous ambassador for the bassoon." (BBC Music Magazine)

Info & reviews:
This is the third recording for Chandos by the popular young bassoonist Karen Geoghegan. It ably demonstrates the capabilities of the bassoon in this unique collection of French music, sensitively accompanied by Philip Fisher.
BBC Music Magazine wrote of her first disc ‘Geoghegan has real expressive maturity too. Elgar’s Romance is heavenly and, as an encore, Gershwin’s Summertime deliciously dreamy, showing off a glorious tone, coloured with gentle restrained vibrato… Buy it and share in the fun.'
Whilst Double Reed Society wrote, 'This is a marvellous start with which to launch one’s career. Karen should be congratulated on her achievement. I can truly say that I look forward to following her progression as she develops as a soloist and matures her style.'
This appealing collection of French compositions and arrangements for bassoon and piano not only illustrates the variety and ingenuity with which French composers have written for this neglected instrument, it also highlights the importance of the Paris Conservatoire and the role of the famous Prix du Rome in nurturing generation upon generation of gifted instrumentalists and composers. This set comprises works from 1800 through to 1972, and brings together the works of Debussy, Faure, Koechlin, Pierné, Dutilleux along with the lesser known composers of Jancourt, Boutry and Bitsch.
Jancourt’s Nocturne (d’apres John Field) and Debussy’s Piano Preludes arranged for bassoon and piano here receive their premiere recordings.
Reviews
'Closely shadowed by pianist Philip Fisher, Geoghegan shows elegance, with, a gorgeous sound and a bulletproof technique.'

'Here is an exceptional young musician – technically and highly accomplished and to whom lyrical mellifluous playing seems to come as naturally as wit and charm – at long last raising the profile of the orchestra’s Cinderalla.'

It is sad that the french bassoon is more and more vanishing because it's a beautiful instrument.
