Comments

Awesome performance and testimony! Mr. Pablo Aguilar. [Jo C.]

We were very impressed by listening to you today. [Jose C.]

I thoroughly enjoyed your wonderful piano performance and the program of published pieces as well as your original compositions. The subject/theme of “The Great Controversy” is a timeless message. The program notes relating to each part that you performed are worth my keeping; they were very well written and so very appreciated! [Mandy F.]

Great concert Pablo, we were greatly blessed this day! [Don K.]

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your recital today. I especially liked your composition. I didn't know you had such an amazing talent for composing as well as playing piano! I don't know how you found the time to accomplish all that you have with such a large studio. [Mary W.]

Congratulations on your glorious recital today! I really enjoyed your amazing memorization skills. But more importantly, you played everything Brilliantly. I was especially looking forward to Hearing your compositions. My favorite was the Scent of Water. I thought The repeated note was a unifying feature yet I loved The harmony tension it created. [Susan B.]

What wonderful recital today! I was especially impressed with the energy of the last movt of the Beethoven and the first movt of your suite and the flow of the Barber. You played with security and intensity which obviously connected with your appreciative audience. Congratulations!! [Vickie P.]

I want to thank you for inviting me to your graduate piano recital. It was wonderful and I enjoyed every note from beginning to end! I especially enjoyed the suite that you composed. The pieces were clearly Spirit-inspired and played. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents of playing and composition with all who were there yesterday. Congratulations! [Linda B]

Wish we could have been there! Sounds like it was a blessing. Wonderful job, Pablo! Praise God for the gift He has given you! [Elissa M.]

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your recital. Your repertoire was so varied, all well-prepared and well-executed! And what a crowd! Quite a successful recital! [Angelica L.]

Felicitaciones Pablo: Estuvo hermoso el recital que distes y mis hijos felices por que los tomastes en cuenta a los alumnos. Dios te bendiga constantemente, asi mismo un fuerte abrazo a Brenda y a los niños. [Rebecca H.]

Congratulations. I truly regret not being able to make it to the recital. I will make it next time for sure!! [Peter P.]

Lo disfrute mucho. Dios le siga bendiciendo Pablo en ese talento maravilloso que Dios le regalo. [Dalys]

You have worked so hard and accomplished so much. Your concert really touched my heart. The "Battle of Ages" left me feeling stunned and emotional. "I Am with You" lifted my mind and heart to heavenly places. "It is Finished" pierced my heart and I had to ask God for forgiveness of my sins. "Tried-and-True Road" made me want to go to heaven, RIGHT NOW! It was an amazing experience, thank you! [Pam M.]

Enjoyed your recital. Know all of your family was proud of you. You did great job and had the largest attendance of any student recital I have seen. Appreciated your exhibition of Christian faith. Was the longest student recital that I have seen. Great. Thanks for the invitation. [Helen C.]

I was both tremendously entertained and profoundly moved. All during the concert, I found myself thinking that right-now-this-very-minute, I would rather be exactly where I was than anywhere else on earth! Your authentic faith, your incredible talent, and your "likability quotient" (off the charts!) make you a very special person. [Lin A.]

Con tus composiciones me quedé anonadado de la expresividad con la que magistralmente combinabas los sonidos del piano desde los más sencillos hasta los mas complejos para comunicar los profundos conceptos que llenaban tu corazón. La valla de sonidos expresivos me dejo anonadado. Lo que me pareció de lo más estupendo fué que el lenguaje utilizado fué asimilado por criterios de lo más sencillos hasta los de criterio sofisticado. La combinación de llenar un requisito, tu experiencia espiritual, pintar con esmero el carácter de tus familiares y lograr comunicarlos a todas las edades definitivamente dejo en claro en mí tu magistral avance en la maestría. [Mephi H.]

Pablo, your piano performance was inspiring; I felt that it had more than merely tonal and melodic qualities, but that it had powerfully emotional aspects as well. Through your compositions I could discern more than just carefully and thoughtfully placed tones and semitones, I could discern a story. [Michael A.] read more...
