"Alexei
Belousov manages to give the same impression of honesty in his
music
as he transmits as a person. In this sense what I appreciate
most in his
playing is his way of prioritizing musical sense over pure instrumental
display."

to write this letter of recommendation for Mr. Alexei Belousov.
I had the pleasure of teaching
Alexei classical guitar at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and
Dance. From the first moment, it was clear to me that he was
a naturally gifted musician, and I was sure that he would be
a performing artist with a remarkable career. I am certain that
Alexei will go far and succeed in any subject in the music field".

"Alexei Belousov
is a musician of austere but still up-to-date style of classical guitar
performance. On one hand - there is an exquisite manner, broad erudition
and unexceptionable performance of classical music, on the other hand
- receptivity of all music styles and trends, - characterizes Alexei
as intellectual musician who does not afraid of experiments. His transcriptions
and arrangements for guitar are inspired by very delicate sensation
and thorough knowledge of a classic guitar potentialities, thus there
is a feeling some time that this music was written for guitar originally.
Natural combination of austere style and modern technique imbues Alexey's
performance with sincere and exquisite musical images and refined
feelings of sincere spirituality. And there is undoubtedly, that in
the field of a modern classical music Alexei Belousov is a considerable
musical occurrence, which deserves a rapt of attention".

He has a unique interpretive voice, founded on a solid instrumental
technique and a deep musical understanding with an uncompromising
commitment to excellence. His passion for music and his generosity
of spirit are evident in everything he does, from his concert performances,

"Listen to the Domenico
Scarlati's Sonatas played by Alexei Belousov. They are full of grace
and gentleness, played with required purity and clarity, yet they
have this deep emotional expression, delivered so successfully by
Alexei. And without making any compromises of Barocco style".
