I received the following e-mail a couple of months ago after I introduce Carlos piano works to Philippine-American Academy of Science & Engineering (PAASE). I hope this will inspire Carlos to continue with vigor his career in classical piano music.
Carlos, your Aunt Macrine and I are proud of your musical accomplishments. Keep up with good work.

Dear David,
I am grateful to you for introducing to us Carlos Avila and a sampling of his superlative work.
I also came across the link below to his interpretation of Franz Schubert's Impromptu Op. 90 No. 3, and the sonorous tone with which he imbued the piece is simply remarkable.
He allows the piece to be tender and tremulous, yet ably controls it so that it remains far from mawkishness.
Carlos Avila is a revelation.
Best regards, Joel
