David Garvey

He is known as the regular accompanist of Leontyne Price and other performers, including violinists Itzhak Perlman, Michael Rabin and Wanda Wiłkomirska.

[5] He also collaborated with singers William Blankenship,[6] Elizabeth Mannion, Mary O'Hara,[7] Lucia Popp, Hermann Prey,[8] and Jennie Tourel, and with violinists Joseph Fuchs, Itzhak Perlman, Michael Rabin,[3] Charles Treger,[9] and Wanda Wiłkomirska,[10] among others.

"[10] A recording of the first recital that Leontyne Price gave at Carnegie Hall on 28 February 1965 was issued first in 2002, and reviewed as exceptional.

[12] The program included a variety of styles, mostly unfamiliar repertory: arias from operas by Handel, Giordano, Puccini and Cilea, songs by Johannes Brahms, Francis Poulenc, Samuel Barber and Lee Hoiby, spirituals and Gershwin's "Summertime".

While a reviewer described the singer's part in detail, he summarily acknowledged that "Miss Price is sensitively accompanied throughout by David Garvey – a true musical partnership, this".
