About Me
Alberto Álvarez
MUSIC HAS GUIDED ME
Music and piano are my life and passion. I value and enjoy performing classical pieces as much as creating musical pieces to add that special touch to your creations.
Here, I explain why I can be your best partner, both in a project in which music and your ideas are the protagonists, as well as in concerts.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ME
Alberto plays every piece of the repertoire with almost insolent fluency. He plays bravely, tragically, with a perfect finish, and emotional integrity in front of the audience.
He is extremely creative and humble when composing his own pieces and arranging them, such as with pop-rock. He brings his empathy to his work with the audience, to the chamber music, to education.
Everyone wants to work with Alberto because he learns musical pieces very quickly, and because he is a great person to work with.
Luis Ángel de Benito (Radio broadcaster – Spanish National Radio)
Words don’t beat in the same way without the poet who wrote them, as music doesn’t breathe with the same freedom without the musician who brought it to life.
Alberto has the ability to educate and bring notes to life, (…). His unrehearsed talent and obstinate greatness, stirs up the smallest febrile symptom of sensitiveness to remind you, that you are listening to a true poet and the pianist.
And it hurts them in just the same way, as it hurts you.
And I end up thinking that is more because of him…than because of me.
Javier Callejo (poet, journalist, and TV presenter in Telemadrid)
Working with Alberto is a guarantee of success. He is responsible, a great professional, and he knows how to meet your every need.
He demonstrates infinite interest, and likes to get to know every project in which he collaborates, always striving to ensure that all of those who work with him do so in the knowledge that they are in safe hands.
Clara Ricart (CEO of the symphony orchestra and the choir of WYD)
PIANO COMPOSER, TEACHER AND PERFORMER
I am concert pianist and composer who conveys his passion, sensitiveness and the lessons learned to every piece and on every stage.
I have had the privilege of being trained at the Reina Sofía School of Music, one of the best musical centers in Spain with a high international standing. It has been graced by great figures who today are points of reference for classical music.
As a composer, I am creative, a perfectionist, and versatile, and I perform with ease in a wide range of styles, as well as in every project with collaborators of diverse fields. My training as a pianist and chamber musician, enables me to consider the point of view of the performers in my compositions.
I have extensive knowledge in film scoring. Among other formats, I have participated in recordings with Ensemble and in musical mixing with Dolby. I have also been part of news and series production, and have worked on the soundtrack of short films and videogames.
I like to challenge myself, and a way to do so is by participating in piano competitions. Beyond awards, piano competitions are an excellent means to learn, to grow as a person, and to build a relationship with the audience and other musicians.
I never stop experiencing, creating, and performing new pieces to continue growing as a musician. Let my next challenge be with you.
