It was in 1987, at the age of twenty, that Pablo Márquez made his international debut, winning first prize in two international contests, after unanimous votes: the "Villa-Lobos" Competition in Rio de Janeiro, on the occasion of the centenary celebrations of the birth of the Brazilian composer, and the Concours International de Radio France in Paris. Since then, he has also been awarded top prizes in both the Geneva and Munich international contests.

In 1995 Pierre Boulez and the Ensemble InterContemporain invited him to play Luciano Berio's Sequenza XI on the occasion of the composer's 70th birthday at the Centre Pompidou in Paris as well as in the Festival Musica in Strasbourg. He also premiered this work in Argentina, in the big hall of the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires.

	Gitarre & Laute (Köln): "das" Konzert dieses Festivals - seine Kompromisslosigkeit bezieht sich zum einen auf die Spieltechnik, wo nichts um des Effektes Willen gepfuscht oder "überflogen" wird - sie bezieht sich auf seine Musikalität. Sein Repertoire ist handverlesen – höchst effektvoll, weil überzeugend präsentiert. Jeder Komponist wünscht sich solche Interpreten!"
	Gramophone (London): "It would be hard not to be fascinated by such a virtuosity, vivacity and expressivity, especially no table in the guitar solos of Pablo Márquez, a splendid guitarist with a wide range of tonal nuance"
	Jutarnji List (Zagreb): "Guitaristic splendour left audience breathless. In Zagreb, we can clamly proclaim Pablo Márquez the musical discovery of the season"
