“This
folk-pop crooner from Queens still exudes the high-strung
sensitivity of an earnest, poetry-scribbling college student.
His signature look, and his breathy crooning still conveys
the ingeniuis romanticism of a folk-pop choirboy.“
Stephen Holden – The New York Times
“Dear
Art: On behalf of everyone associated with the Nashville Symphony,
please accept our sincerest gratitude for your wonderful performance
in Nashville. The Nashville Symphony musicians and staff very
much enjoyed working with you and of course, our audiences
absolutely loved your beautiful voice. On a personal note,
it has been a long time since I have been so impressed with
a pops show – you were absolutely stunning. Bravo!”
Alan Valentine – The Nashville Symphony
"We
all remember how important Art's signature song "Bridge
Over Troubled Water" was during the turbulent 60's and
70's. In today's world, with our men and women coming back
from Iraq battered and bruised and people not knowing if they
can afford the food on their table or their medecines this
song still resonates and has a powerful message for all Americans"

“Last
night, he pretty much sounded like he always has, like an earnest
adolescent…He’s kept his voice in a high, soft-focus
tenor range all the way up to A, and he still sings every word
as if he means it…He’ offered a number of the greatest
Simon & Garfunkel hits, and the pretty product of a recent
songwriting streak of his own. Lockhart and the Pops proved
attentive accompanists, and there were some super solos by Garfunkel’s
band”
Richard Dyer – The Boston Globe
On Saturday night at The Palace, where he appeared
with the Louisville Orchestra as part of the Chase Pops series,
it seemed that the passage of five decades had actually enhanced
Garfunkel's delivery. …his delivery blended the youthful
naivete of the '60s folk revival with the mellow wisdom of a
man who has reached his own sixties
Marty
Rosen – Louisville Courier Journal
“’Are
you going to Scarborough Fair?’ Art Garfunkel asked a
capacity crowd at Springfield symphony Hall Saturday night.
They would have followed him anywhere. Garfunkel’s breathy,
heady tenor could still conjure the delicious mystery of a spring
morning or the cloying, sweet danger of a summer night.”
Clifton J. Noble Jr. – The Springfield Republican
