REVIEWS
“Keeping aloft the spirit of Beethoven, Rudolf Budginas offered soulfulness.”- The Los Angeles Times

PRESENTERS FEEDBACK
CLARK CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS
"It’s hard to understand how one person and one piano can fill a theatre with the energy of a big band, a symphony and a rock band all at the same time!"- Connie O’Henley Executive Director
COVINGTON HALL
"Stylistic freshness and superb piano artistry. His Beethoven is flawless; his ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ was powerful and sparkling. Gershwin would have been pleased to hear his signature work performed with such emotion and spontaneity. The audience loved his personal approach that came so easily and with such pleasing style."- Dean Echols

"WOW! what a concert that was yesterday! A real winner. I had people say to me - "bring them back again next year!" I do hope the remaining concerts can compete!"- Board member
"This one was a most memorable concert. Rudolf was pure joy to listen to and to listen to his commentary. That piano sang. And... What a sense of humor! He was actually dancing to the music…couldn't help but watch his feet."
