Moderne Klassik mit
schrägem Schreck-Faktor? Ganz und gar nicht. Rolf Rudins Musik ist immer
intensiv und sinnlich, spinnt außergewöhnliche Klangatmosphären, die aber auch
ein nicht in der Moderne geübtes Publikum musikalisch reizvoll "mitnehmen".
Kaum verwunderlich, dass es Rudin als einer der wenigen deutschen Komponisten
unserer Zeit bis in die legendäre New Yorker Carnegie Hall schaffte.

Of the German Composers who deserves being taken seriously and who have presented works for wind band in the last decade, Rolf Rudin is certainly the most interesting ... An always striking feature of his compositions no matter whether simple or difficult, written in a rather traditional or uncompromisingly avantgarde style is his sense of form and his deep musicality. The pieces are always well scored with special attention to the percussion section.
WINDS, Autumn 1998

Although by no means restricting himself to this medium Rolf Rudin can be regarded as the most interesting serious German composer for wind band. With more than thirteen compositions of high quality in eight years he is certainly one of the most diligent authors.
