Patricia is known for her critically acclaimed, first-ever recording of the complete piano works of Czech Romantic-era composer Josef Bohuslav Foerster.

In addition to championing the works of Scottish-Czech composer Geraldine Mucha, Patricia has premiered and recorded works by New Zealand composer Dame Gillian Whitehead and by Czech composers Josef Adamík, Mirsoslav Pudlák, Hanuš Bartoň, Vlastislav Matoušek, Ivana Loudová, Michal Rataj and others. Many composers have written works especially for her.

CD: Shadows Crossing Water

Patricia organised a stellar recording of solo and chamber music by New Zealand composer Dame Gillian Karawe Whitehead with the Stamic Quartet and oboist Vilém Veverka for Rattle Records.

CD: Piano Concerto and Scottish Variations by Geraldine Mucha

Patricia also oversaw the recording of neglected music by her friend, the Scottish composer Geraldine Mucha, who moved to Prague in 1945. During her long life, Mucha composed a full range of orchestral, chamber and solo works. Patricia performs Mucha`s bracing, Scottish-themed Piano Concerto and “Variations on a Scottish Folk Song” on the Arco Diva release “Macbeth and other orchestral works by Geraldine Mucha”.

Happiness supplier

I’m kicking off the month with a long-standing happiness supplier in my CD library, Patricia Goodson’s Strange Attractors….Goodson’s work …is consistently excellent, rumbling and ecstatic at one end and acutely sensitive on the other, both qualities well suited to American classical music of the 80’s.
— -Peter Nelson-King “Re-composing”
