'Music from the heart, wide-ranging, a deep mind, painting wonderful colours'

'Garrett squeezes all kinds of possibilities out of his Mendelssohn arrangement without losing the essential lyricism of the piece. I found it invigorating to listen to - like an aural adventure, broadening the feelings. He seemed to get inside the music and expand it and bring the listener new insights and exhilaration - an architectural tour de force!'
From an article by Hayden McAllister (Author and Journalist) on Michael Garrett's arrangement of Mendelssohn's overture 'The Hebrides' for two pianos, commissioned by the New Kirkcudbright International Arts Festival, Scotland. August 2004. 11.12.04
