Soloist with Castilla y León Symphony Orchestra.
Review Mundoclásico – José del Rincón. Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini, Op. 43. Otoño Musical Soriano. September 16th 2011. “One of the guests orchestras at the Otoño Musical Soriano Festival was the Castilla y León Symphony Orchestra, which after a few years of a certain apathy recovered its best sound with british conductor Andrew Gourlay, winner of the Cadaqués International conducting competition. Gourlay accompanied very well to the fabulous pianist Alex Alguacil, not so well-known as he ought to be outside his native Catalonia. They offered a precise, fluent, clear an energetic musical performance of the Rhapsodhy on a theme by Paganini, which is one of the most famous works by Rachmaninov, but less programmed than his own second and third piano concertos”.
