Critical Acclaim and International Recognition

“Pedro Vicente Alamá offered the audience a superb concert. Indeed, Maestro Pedro Vicente showed how to interpret Spanish music.” – Diario de Coimbra.
“Pedro Vicente is a trained and forged conductor. In addition, his background as a clarinetist of merit and experience enhances his growing quality as a conductor, a combination that allows him to understand and empathize with the personal and professional aspects of the orchestra teacher. As a result, thanks to his excellent work, forged in the trenches of the podium, the applauded results obtained in this concert with fine musical lineage were not only praised by the large audience but also by the orchestra’s own teachers, who did not hide their satisfaction with the Valencian maestro.” – Beckemesser.
“Pedro Vicente was a true luxury.” – Tribuna de Salamanca.
“Pedro Vicente Alamá gave a recital of quality and excellent interpretation.” – Las Provincias.

A Virtuoso of the Clarinet and Musical Direction

“Pedro Vicente Vini, vidi, vinci” – Concert at the Palau de la Música in Valencia. – Levante EMV.
“Charming, nostalgic, but also radiant, his lightness and beauty of sound shine. Pedro Vicente Alamá, an artist with a long career, makes his instrument shine with virtuosity and genuine expressive sense.” – Scherzo.
“The pinnacle is conductor Pedro Vicente Alamá, whose sound revealed itself right from the beginning. On one hand, it came from very, very fine – in fact, immobile – to a rich, pleasant, and full sound. On the other hand, it was never too loud or excessive, but always in perfect balance. As a result, from the golden brilliance of oil to the most succulent ruby red of Rioja, a color palette so magnificent was displayed that even Spanish painter Salvador Dalí would have been left amazed. In short, with Pedro Vicente’s interpretation, one can enter the Walhalla of symphonic art.” – De Limburger – Netherlands.
