“Budu is a stunningly original pianist with musical insight and maturity that could inspire envy in colleagues twice his age. He has the sort of hands that used to be called 'velvet paws', which are seemingly incapable of making an ugly sound at the instrument...Eloquent phrasing is ever front and centre, and no expressive potential is left unexplored.”
- Gramophone
“Budu elevates [the Bagatelles] from mere trifles to ravishing miniatures pointing up the humour, wit, quirkiness and charm that lies therein… I don’t think I’ve ever heard the fifth done as well; Budu’s pearl-like runs and capricious humour are an absolute delight… This is a captivating debut release by a pianist who has much to say about the music he is performing and who injects plenty of personality into his playing.”
- MusicWeb International
For his debut commercial solo album, the up-and-coming Brazilian-Romanian pianist Cristian Budu performs Chopin’s Préludes, Op. 28 and Beethoven’s Bagatelles, Op. 33, breathing new life into these much-loved classics. A winner of the prestigious Clara Haskil Competition, Badu has toured extensively and is also the founding director of the Pianosofia “music at home” community outreach programme.
