"We had Rudolf last night and he was outstanding. My audience was so happy with his performance. He is an exceptional pianist, playing with ease and perfection. He is also very talented in mixing his [other music] with his pieces. We enjoyed his humor, his knowledge of the great composers and his wonderful rapport with the audience."Becky

"Rudolf is a very versatile performer with exceptional control of the piano. He switches easily form a serious classical sound to the light and entertaining moods of Gershwin. Rudolf is just plain fun to watch. He has a wonderful ability to relate to the audience. Each piece offers great dynamic scale – the audience was entranced by the sudden contrasts: dramatic at break-neck speed then lyrical with a sensitive and romantic sound."Betsy Hardie

"Mr. Budginas performed in Alpena, MI on the evening of Wednesday October 21, 2009. IT WAS WONDERFUL!!! He is a very skilled pianist and performed classical music with great precision and depth. He was also a great entertainer and kept the audience involved throughout the concert.

"The key to audiences returning again and again to hear Rudolf’s concerts is his extremely high level of artistry, his enthusiastic style and his ability to engage audiences. It’s hard to understand how one person and one piano can fill a theater with the energy of a big band, a symphony and a rock band all at the same time!"Connie O’Henley

'I want to keep my audience always guessing what will come next' and this Budginas certainly did. To utter the words Beethoven and Bongos may give you some idea of what it was all about - or maybe not – you had to have been there. His straight performances proved here was a genuine classical musical talent who enjoys his music, and asks why can't music lovers have fun? His 'Hungarian Rhapsody' is jaw-dropping. Along with a variety of works, the highlight of the concert included audience participation with members of the audience involved in Bizet's 'Carmen' a la Budginas… which turned out to be uproariously humorous.
