| 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." Enriko Josif "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'". Milena Pesic "Pavle Aksentijevic is more real than if he came out of Hilandar at Atos". Erve Lansio "Your magnificent performance of Byzantine and Serbian psalms, made between 13th and 15thcentury, caused great interest in our public, and represents a big artistic event in the cultural life of Moscow."
