Katharine Goodson - International Acclaim

International Acclaim

Daily Telegraph, UK: Katharine Goodson’s performance in the Tschaikowsky Concerto was the other big event of the evening. The Concerto was all radiance, romantic, exuberant, idyllic, heroic, flamboyant: a furore followed.

Evening Standard, UK: The highest of the week-end high spots on the wireless was Katharine Goodson’s performance of the Greig Concerto with the BBC Orchestra last night. There was the sympathetic insight of the cultured artist in her interpretation, and a touch that was both resolute and pliable in her performance. I cannot remember when a piano forte artist came over better.

San Francisco Globe, US: She is a poetess, one of the greatest piano-artists of the day.

Winnipeg Free Press, Canada: Stands absolutely in the front rank of any living pianist in the world today.

Toronto World, Canada: To be capable of perfection in such gems of musical art establishes Miss Goodson among the genuine artists.

Sydney Morning Herald, Australia: She is indeed the feminine counterpart of that most perfect of all pianists, Paderewski.

Le Figaro, France: Incomparable technique, superb tone.

Idun, Sweden: A genius, an inspired artist.

Munechener Staatzeitung, Germany: It was astounding to hear how deeply she penetrated into the profoundness of the Brahms Sonate in F minor.

Vienna Times, Austria: Virsuosity, temperament, expression and personality place her on top of my list of eminent pianists.

Pesti Maplo, Hungary: The piano playing of Katharine Goodson is a genuinely monumental art, which we today, among the names of women pianists, can only associate with those of Theresa Carreno and Sofie Menter. Our eminent guest played the F Minor of Brahms in such a broadly conceived spirit and with such a gripping rhythm and power as would have done honour to d’Albert.

Pesti Maplo, Hungary: Her playing is not merely an aesthetic function: it is an aesthetic revelation.
