BBC2's Classical Star attracted some vitriolic reviews in 2007, yet no one doubted that Karen Geoghegan would become a professional musician.
Her debut disc is a clever recital of French miniatures, ranging from Henri Dutilleux's Chaplinesque "Sarabande et Cortège" to the courtly elegies and neo-baroque fantasies of Fauré, Tansman and Koechlin. Closely shadowed by pianist Philip Fisher, Geoghegan shows elegance, wit, a gorgeous sound and a bulletproof technique.
Pick of the album: A poignant arrangement of Debussy's 'Petit berger'
