From the critique

"Human voice is a wonder, word cannot grasp it. Voice, that secret- both heard and unheard, passes through our existence through this llight, through the matter and breath of all the living beings. Whenever I listen to Pavle's voice a heavenly feeling is roused in me! It's a preciousness that brings to life the inscriptions of a forgotten tradition... He was that natural, self-made, beautiful tenor voice of a rare, clear chanting beauty, painted with ancient hailing."

"With his remarkable concert performances Aksentijevic presented himself as a serious researcher- the restorer of medieval sound. He chants with ease in a specific voice techique that these melodies demand with regard ti breath, intonation and melodious ornamentation. He wants to seize, as he himself says, 'the simplicity and beauty of chanting of a plain monk from Sveta Gora'".

"Pavle Aksentijevic is more real than if he came out of Hilandar at Atos".

"Your magnificent performance of Byzantine and Serbian psalms, made between 13^th and 15^thcentury, caused great interest in our public, and represents a big artistic event in the cultural life of Moscow."
