Christian Budu’s artist diploma recital at Jordan Hall Tuesday night proved once more that New England Conservatory recognizes and develops consummate artistry. In 2013, the young Brazilian of Romanian birth won the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition, on its 50th anniversary. The judges there value “musicality, sensitivity, humility, constant questioning, perpetual seeking for excellence, listening to partners and respect for the composer,” and sometimes declare no winner. Earlier laureates have included Richard Goode, Mitsuko Uchida, Christoph Eschenbach, Till Fellner, and Evgeny Korolyov. We can see how belongs in the pantheon. Since then Budu apparently has been in good hands with Wha Kyung Byun at NEC; one also detects whiffs of her husband Russell Sherman’s philosophical polishing. Budu constructed a literally fantastic recital. The C.P.E. Bach Fantasia for Keyboard in C Major marries operatic flair with the wit of a popinjay. Its many weird stop-start contrasts and terraced dynamics seem almost unaccountable. […]

Budu’s Bagatelles More Than Mere
Christian Budu (file photo) On the eve of Easter, the second night of Passover and the NCAA’s “Final Four,” Jordan Hall appeared rather depopulated, but those rapt 100-plus auditors for pianist Christian Budu’s NEC artist diploma recital (the 25-year-old São Paulo native studies with Wha-Kyung Byun) received rewards for their intrepidity. The artist diploma designation means what it implies—as in the case of many before him in this category, Budu’s artistry was sufficient to win a major competition, in this case, the Clara Haskil, putting him in the company of such greats as Christoph Eschenbach and Till Fellner. Ambling on stage in a moss-green tunic and dark jeans, Budu bonded immediately with the crowd as he disarmingly declared his awe at finding himself in the great Jordan Hall.
