Karen Geoghegan (bassoon) Orchestra of Opera North, Benjamin Wallfisch Currently studying at the Royal Academy of Music with John Orford, nineteen-year-old Karen Geoghegan came to
the attention of the British public late last year following her appearance as a finalist on Classical Star, a BBC
reality programme. She proved immensely popular with the public and judges alike, and brought much needed
attention to the bassoon, which has generally been neglected as a solo instrument. The cellist Matthew Barley who
was mentor and presenter of the show says of Karen, ‘with her sound and focus she is already one of the great wind
players in the country’. Chandos’ Managing Director, Ralph Couzens, was so impressed by Karen’s performance
that he contacted Karen the day following the broadcast, and offered her a contract.
For her first CD with Chandos, it was decided to focus on the repertoire performed for the show. Hummel’s
Bassoon Concerto, the centrepiece of the album, is complemented by Elgar’s Romance, Berwald’s rarely recorded
Konzertstück, Weber’s Andante and Hungarian Rondo, Carl Jacobi’s Introduction and Polonaise and a beautiful
arrangement of Gershwin’s ‘Summertime’. Each work demonstrates Karen’s ability as a performer of outstanding
quality. Benjamin Wallfisch conducts the Orchestra of Opera North. |

that her voice is one of the greatest in the world, hitting you in
the solar plexus each time you listen to it. On a concert platform,
however, she’s remarkably self-effacing, never indulging in
self-conscious histrionics and concentrating all her energies on
the expressive potential of the glorious sound that issues
from her throat’ Guardian | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
