"Not just the Brahms, but the Poulenc, Debussy, and Berg pieces, are all superbly played. Alves's tone is rich and woody, but also sufficiently nuanced to adapt itselft to different styles and technical demands of each of these works." (in Fanfare, USA 2012)
"Throughout his brilliant career, he has had the privilege of working with some of the best and most prestigious musicians in the world, which should be sufficient to describe his magnificent performance. However, I cannot overemphasize his admirable work capacity and his constant search for perfection and sometimes even for the unattainable."
"Carlos Alves is among the few Portuguese musicians that are recognized abroad at the highest level. His first concert in the USA, followed by his first album with me, immediately received criticism that stands out, and his sound has been compared to some of the greatest clarinetists of today."
