Robert Anthony Gardiner - tenor
"Of the three soloists, the young tenor Robert Anthony Gardiner was outstanding as Gerontius. It is well known that this role is one of the most challenging in the oratorio repertoire, but Robert had the necessary strength to fulfil it; he sang with great power and beauty of tone." (The Dream of Gerontius/Lancashire and District Choral Society) April 2011

"The singing, by the young artists who have taken small roles in major productions, was of a high standard, though several of these singers still lack the capacity to fill the house with their voice. Two exceptions are Pumeza Matshikiza, who is already a complete Donna Elvira, and Robert Anthony Gardiner, a full-toned Ottavio." (JPYAP/ROH) Spectator, July 2009
