Alexander has been described as a "true deep bass with tones, that immediately astonished with their midnight-dark, chasm depth of richness and powerful timber... a fine singer who has a fluid, musical legato that expressed the music's message with drama and excitement..."

Alexander's solo concert appearances include the parts of Bass in Stravinsky's Les Noces with Ohio State University Chamber Orchestra, Handel's Messiah with the Sapphire Coast Music Festival in Australia, Bach's Magnificat in D with Boston Cecilia, Handel's Te Deum for the Victory of Dettingen, Haydn's Te Deum in C Major, Faurre's Requiem, Mozart's Messa Solemnis in C and Messa Brevis D-dur and Schubert's Messa G-dur.
