Ovidiu Badila

[emilio g]

Ovidiu Badila is one of the best bass players to ever live, ever.

However, I am told he did not travel or record much, and died at a young age, so not many people know about him.

If you aren't hip to his playing, someone very generously posted a video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKeBqfQMKgY


If you know of any available video or audio, please let me know!

Ovidiou is one of those Schubert type guys who did so much in his short life that we all wonder what amzing things he would have done had he lived longer. He was a household name in Romania and much loved amongst his fellow native romanian musicians. I know several Romanian fiddle players (some of whom knew Ovidiu personally) who were all shocked a few years back when he died. I had never heard of him till then but they quickly educated me and since then have been a big fan!

Thanks for the link.

Ovidiu Badila - Bottesini (4CD Set)

[chop_1992]

Ovidiu was an incredible bass player technically who also played with a lot of soul. His younger brother, Decebel Badila is a fantastic player who works around Europe playing electric bass and double bass, mostly jazz.

Badila was a wonderful player. I am also a big fan of his duo partner Güttler. Check out these two works from the same Concert:
