"Driven by the very essence of music, this brilliant pianist has designed her latest opus, Bach Kosmos, according to the model of the ellipse, linking a choice of scores that she arranges in a dynamic movementof which it occupies the center »
François Passard, Director of the L'ABRI Foundation, Geneva 01.09.2017

“The act of creation is a round, an infinite cycle which engages its steps in the work of composers of the past as of the present. The church resounds tonight with the happy notes of a pianist who is composing. She is inspired by the great Johann Sebastian Bach and the Mediterranean worlds. A silent and attentive listening seized the assistance very quickly seduced by this young and beautiful artist who explains to us with simplicity and precision her work made of excellence and sharing...
A hypnotic ballet of perpetual rounds embraces us. A light dance takes our mind on a radiant wandering...
Joanna's country is made of serenity, purity and an authenticity that knows how to touch us deeply.
Laboule Musical Season, Ardèche 24.06.2017

At the microphone of "Versus-Écouter", the young pianist evokes her career, of course, and we discover her personality that we imagine strong and sensitive, in all frankness, seated at the Bösendorfer piano in the studio for three pieces interpreted, presented , shared, between Bach and his own improvisational work.
How is a melody born under the fingers, adorned with the moment and flourishing in spontaneity? Eternal questions and always personal, intimate answers. Joanna Goodale seems to cultivate naturalness and openness; it's up to us to discover it and let it lead us into its modest and confident universe.

“Rare moment, breath held back, captive audience, bewitched at the first bar. Joanna has composed a perfect intelligence program. The concert begins with the Mazurkas of Frédéric Chopin [...] which she lays down with finesse imbued with nostalgia. The tone is set for this concert where Joanna continues with a breathtaking improvisation that she extends with Valses nobles et sentimentales by Maurice Ravel from which she releases all the disturbing expressiveness...»

“...pianist Joanna Goodale's concert was sold out on Sunday afternoon at the Cziffra Auditorium. The pianist offered a musical journey through dance, with three Mazurkas by Chopin and then Valses nobles et sentimentales by Ravel. Before ending with two Mazurkas by Scriabin, Gurdjieff's mystical dances, collected during his travels in the East bewitched the audience...»
