“”Is there a nationalistic style of singing-accompanying? One could point to the artistry of Britten and tenor Peter Pears as an outstanding example. I can cheerfully make such a comparison with Loewy and Garland. Garland’s baritone is virile, luxuriantly warm and beautiful. His clear enunciation makes recourse to the printed texts (included) unnecessary. Much welcome too is his positive, confident attitude with a vibrant personality, subtle and boisterous as needed, that makes each song into a mini-drama or comic scene. – American Record Guide
