Dr. Badea's solo appearances have been favourable reviwed:

The "Brockton Enterprise...". "Badea's tone was penetrating yet sonorous, demonstrating excellent control even in extreme registers...... The concerto's slow movement showed this soloist to be an eloquent shaper of melodic phrases, while his natty finger technique put across the works' playful finale with character and panache...."

The "Romanian Music Journal..". " Mr. Badea's sensational performance...... a bassoon virtuoso, with an elegant sound, full of romantic character..... impeccable phrasing, outstanding technique....a delightful performance...."

The "Staten Island Advance….". Projections of Impressionist painting gave way to music (Debussy, Massenet, Ravel and Milhaud) and dancing (by the Duncan Dance Collective), accompanied by genial commentary by Dr. Emilian Badea, a bassoonist and scholar on the faculty of the University of Massachusetts Boston.

"The Patriot Ledger".. Nov. 2000.... "Soloist Badea took up the bassoon concerto's challenges with relaxed confidence, launching into the lively, articulated runs neatly and calmly. He produced a firm yet lyrical tone that swelled to a rich fullness...... the brisk final movement bounced along brightly, with Badea not only negotiating the tricky, rapid leaps but also making it all smoothly musical......"
