With a particular affinity for Spanish and Latin American repertoire, Garcia has carved out a niche as an artist who is both a discerning interpreter of classical standards and a proponent of international guitar music. His recording of Joaquín Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" is especially noted for its expressive depth and technical finesse, a hallmark of Garcia's approach to the instrument.

Meanwhile, his own compositions, such as those found on "Garcia: Etudes Esquisses / Celtic Airs," reflect his broad compositional interests and draw upon diverse traditions to create a fresh, evocative sound. His album "Brazilian Portrait: Villa-Lobos & the Guitar Music of Brazil" pays homage to the rich musical landscape of Brazil, highlighting the intricate works of Heitor Villa-Lobos and contributing to Garcia's reputation as a multifaceted musician and a passionate advocate for the global guitar repertoire. Through his extensive discography, Gerald Garcia has not only established himself as a formidable classical guitarist but also as a musical ambassador who bridges genres and eras with elegance and ease.
