One of the most extraordinary fine singers of all time!

[@goranandersson]

A fantastic tenor! At 70 still sounding great. I have listened to him many times in Sweden in different venues, concert and operas. His recordings are legendary, both operas and operettas.

Thank you Brian...he still sounds wonderful. His high D was in a class by itself.

A really great tenor. I must have heard him at the same time in London in his farewell concert at Covent Garden. Never to be forgotten! Thanks so much.

Once again Brian ,Thank you thank you thank you. I saw this beautiful man at the Melbourne town hall in the 1990s. .( the front row was the Opera Australia including Bobby Gard).This towards the the end of his career, AND HE STILL HAS IT!! My first favourite from early teens in the 1960s. We have had many tenors rise and good ones, but nobody had his technique sweetness and power like his. I spoke to Robert Gard at the intermission, "What are you doing here Mr Gard ?", I said with a smile, "to see our mentor" says Robert.
