Moscow press about Alexeev's recital in 2015
"Konstantin Alexeev's concert is a power,a devotion combined with an excellent technique""-
Russian press about pianist's recital in 2023
"Konstantin Alexeev is one of the brightest representatives of the young generation of pianists who entered the big stage already in our century. This generation is characterized by a gradual rejection of passion for self-sufficing virtuosity, a return to the glorious traditions of domestic piano performance, the basis of which has always been the richness and feeling of performance. These qualities were brought up in a young artist during the years of classes with the best teachers in Moscow, classes that ended in the class of our largest pianist mentor, Professor Sergei Dorensky.
By the time he graduated from the conservatory, Alexeev was already a laureate of numerous Russian and international competitions, gained considerable performing experience and accumulated a very rich and varied repertoire. Suffice it to say that in his luggage there are more than 20 concertos for piano and orchestra and countless compositions, both solo and chamber, ensemble. Naturally, this repertoire includes many popular works, on which, alas, concert life is now built, but there are also rarities that also attract the attention of true music lovers. Alexeev's playing attracts with deep content, completeness of form, special charm before the eyes of the composer's idea reborn each time.
All of the above certainly indicates that this artist certainly deserves a big concert stage. This gives me reason to recommend Alexeev to all sorts of concert managers, as well as to his fellow conductors and soloists, for joint music-making."-

"Концерт Константина Алексеева-это мощь,самоотдача при безукоризненной технике"- российская пресса о концерте пианиста 2023 года.
"Koнстантин Алексеев-талантливый,яркий пианист. В его игре всегда свой подход к исполняемой музыке, красивое звучание рояля, простота и естественность выражения а также тонкое ощущение стиля и характера исполняемого произведения."
-пианист, Народный артист России, профессор Московской Государственной Консерватории имени Петра Ильича Чайковского,академик Сергей Леонидович Доренский
"Виртуозное исполнение этих произведений (23 концерт Моцарта и 3 концерт Рахманинова) восхитило зал. «Как он играл, это волшебно, незабываемо!» - такие отзывы оставили зрители. Публика долго не отпускала музыканта и просила выступление на бис. Концерт стал незабываемым, ярким событием для всех."- Московская пресса о концерте пианиста (2015)
"Он зарекомендовал себя как талантливый пианист с прекрасными музыкальными и техническими данными. Уверен в его большом артистическом будущем" - Народный артист России, профессор Московской Государственной Консерватории имени Петра Ильича Чайковского Алексей Аркадьевич Наседкин.
"Константин Алексеев-один из самых ярких представителей молодого поколения пианистов вышедшых на большую эстраду уже в нашем столетии. Для этого поколения характерен постепенный отказ от увлечения самодовлеющей виртуозностью, возвращение к славным традициям отечественного фортепианного исполнительства,основой которого всегда была содержательность и прочувствованность исполнения. Эти качества воспитывались в молодом артисте за годы занятий у лучших педагогов Москвы, занятий,которые завершились в классе крупнейшего нашего наставника пианистов, профессора Сергея Леонидовича Доренского.
К моменту окончания консерватории Алексеев уже был лауреатом многочисленных российских и международных соревнований, получил немалый исполнительский опыт и накопил очень богатый и разнообразный репертуар. Достаточно сказать,что в его багаже более 20 концертов для фортепиано с оркестром и бесчисленное количество сочинений как сольных,так и камерных,ансамблевых. Естесственно, что в этом списке немало и популярных произведений,на которых сейчас,увы,строится концертная жизнь,но есть и редкости,также привлекающие внимание истинных любителей музыки. Игра Алексеева привлекает глубокой содержательностью,законченностью формы,особым обаянием на глазах возрождающегося каждый раз замысла композитора.
Все сказанное безусловно свидетельствует о том,что этот артист безусловно достоин большой концертной эстрады. Это дает мне основание рекомендовать Алексеева как всевозможным концертным менеджерам,так и его коллегам-дирижерам и солистам- для совместного музыцирования."
- Заслуженный Деятель Искусств РФ Лев Гинзбург
