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".
