Awards and reviews
January 2015
Lopes plays with pleasing, well-rounded tone, great presence (maybe helped by microphone placings?)...with the English Chamber Orchestra responding alertly to the soloist's direction throughout, this disc makes a good case for the bassoon as a solo instrument.
March 2015
Lopes [is] a highly musical and virtuoso bassoonist whom the English Chamber Orchestra accompany most sensitively.
