Chamber Orchestra Kremlin

I have performed with Alan Goldspiel on two separate occasions, with two different works, and both times was impressed with his professionalism. Combining artistic and administrative duties is not an easy task, and to excel in both, as soloist and as concert manager, Alan has met this formidable task and come through wonderfully on all accounts.

Misha Rachlevsky, Music Director

Northeast Louisiana Arts Council

I have observed Dr. Goldspiel interacting with both the student and adult populations and have been impressed with his ability to tailor his informances to his audience in such a wide variety of venues. He has earned the respect of the boards and administrators of organizations in our local communities and is representative of the partnership that should exist between members of a University faculty and the host community.

I asked him to come perform two solo recitals in Macedonia. One performance here at our University “Cyril and Methodius” in Skopje and another concert at the Struga Autumn Music. His performances were well received with many favorable comments. In Skopje we even had the good fortune to have members of the American Consulate attend. Dr. Goldspiel’s performances were enjoyable and a credit to his talent.

Colin Clarke, Fanfare Magazine (Mar/Apr 2021)

Alan Goldspiel’s Soldier of Mine is a poignant expression of the longing enshrined in war correspondence. The atmosphere is prolonged superbly over what is one of the longer items in the program.

Alabama State Council of the Arts

Goldspiel’s compositions exhibit a variety in thematic melodies that are well suited for musicians and audiences. His work is imaginative and explores new musical ideas.

Concerts-At-The-Commons, Harvard, MA

The audience was extremely enthusiastic; I could tell, after eight years of concert presenting, that they realized that they were witnessing a performer who will be heard from for many, many years.

Bernard J. Fine, Director

Performing Artists Associates of New England

Because of his outstanding talent and potential as a young musician beginning his concert career, he was selected as the first Marshall Dodge Scholarship winner…[He is] an excellent guitarist.
