Info zu Wolf-Ferrari: Orchestral Works

Gianandrea Noseda continues his survey of Italian orchestral music with a disc of works by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, which is the Chandos March Featured Release. Wolf-Ferrari was the son of a German painter and his Italian wife and although acknowledged as an Italian composer, he was perhaps better known in Germany. Wolf-Ferrari achieved his greatest success with a string of operatic works, especially Il segreto di Susanna. The recording includes orchestral excerpts from five operas, together with the Suite-Concertino for bassoon and orchestra. The bassoonist in Karen Geoghegan, runner-up on TV’s ‘Classical Star’ programme and now a Chandos artist. Noseda conducts the BBC Philharmonic in music obviously very close to his heart.

"Noseda and the BBC Philharmonic weight and pace these often feather light textures to perfection, particularly in the several delightful song-based movements with plucked or strummed accompaniments. But where this disc scores over most comparable compilations is in offering not just the usual operatic favourites but also a substantial 20-minute bonus in the form of the 1933 Suite-Concertino for bassoon and strings." (BBC Music Magazine)

"What a wonderful sound two early violins, dulcian and keyboards make!' The two violins are equal in every sense – the ensemble is impeccable, even in the most complex music – and it is revelatory to hear this material with a reed instrument on the bass, as a host of composers (especially later ones) expected in ensemble music. Fine playing from all concerned." (Early Music Review)

Geoghegan began studying the bassoon at the age of twelve with Russell Cowieson, having previously played the violin since the age of five. She later studied at the Junior Academy of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama with Janet Bloxwich. She won the Gilbert Innes Prize for woodwind and the 2004 Concerto competition, and in 2004 and 2005 was awarded the Wolfson Scholarship.

During her first year she performed the Mozart Bassoon Concerto with the Academy String Orchestra, and received the Violet M. Wallace Award. She was runner-up in the BBC Two programme Classical Star for her performance of the Hummel Bassoon Concerto with the City of London Sinfonia at LSO St Luke's. On 5 August 2009 she performed the Mozart Bassoon Concerto with the BBC Philharmonic at the BBC Proms.
