"he handles the contemporary language well, with interesting articulations and clean delivery” American Record Guide
“Solo guitar and string quartet pieces show great originality from the Argentine composer"
- Classical Guitar Magazine“The guitarist applies such delicate pressure to the strings in some parts of the piece that it would appear that nothing but air and wind rushes through between his fingers and the strings causing them to rustle as if they vibrate with the hushed leaves on trees during spring."
- The World Music Report
"Carlos blends the serenity of classic ECM jazz, the Latin influence of his native Argentina, and the Neo-Classical rigor of a Ravel or Debussy to create a stimulating and highly enjoyable album. His pieces for the PUBLIQuartet are fresh and lively, without pretention or fussiness. This is someone who loves music and wants you to love it, too."
- David Smey (Music Theory, PhD, CUNY Grad Center NY)“ a more daring harmonic language” - Fanfare Magazine
"El sonido es bueno, tambien me gustan las obras de las cuerdas, bien orquestadas, con lindas ideas harmonicas y ritmicas. Muchas gracias por la Giga que me dedicastes, me gusto y bien tocada. Segui madurando este estilo con los ritmos que mas te gustan y que mas conoces, ahi esta la originalidad de Carlos Pavan." - Jorge Morel
",,,,the entire album sounds like expressions of the composer's "interior" or inner self- his music feels at once intimate, introspective and contemplative, serious but never dark".
- Classical Guitar Magazine
It is throughout the album (Suite del Interior) that Carlos Pavan shows his ingenuity as a composer who especially understands and uses colour brilliantly in his writing and arrangements. His deep feeling for timbral values of guitar and strings also contributes to the memorability of the album".
- The World Music Report“Pavan’s compositions cover a broad range of styles and moods, yet there is something that feels fundamentally traditional about his approach and his aesthetic, even when he delves into more modern sonorities” - Classical Guitar Magazine
