Ernst Haefliger

The Swiss opera and classical singer Ernst Haefliger is renowned for his moving renditions of some of the most well-known classical works. Bach's "Cantata #140, BWV 140, Wachet Auf, Ruft Uns Die Stimme," which features the jubilant first movement, "Wachet Auf, Ruft Uns Die Stimme," and the eerie fourth movement, "Zion Hort Die Wacher Singen," is one of his most well-known compositions.

Haefliger is renowned for his renditions of Mozart's "La flute enchantee, K. 620" in addition to his Bach interpretations. Act I's "Ouverture" establishes the scene for the rest of the song, while Act II's "Der Holle Rache Kocht In Meinem Herze" demonstrates the singer's range and force.

Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125 Choral," which has the famous fourth movement, "Ode to Joy," is another piece in Haefliger's repertoire. Bach's "Mass in B Minor, BWV 232: Dona nobis pacem (Chorus)" and "Magnificat In D, BWV 243 - 1. Magnificat Anima Mea" further show the singer's ability in both religious and secular music.

Bach's "Wann Kommst Du, Mein Heil/Ich Komme, Dein Teil," "Bach: Cantata #140, BWV 140," "Gloria Sei Dir Gesungen," and "Der Messias - In German Language / Erster Teil: I. Arioso" are other noteworthy songs. "Troste dich, mein Volk," by a tenor. As one of the greatest classical and opera singers of our day, Haefliger's interpretations of these pieces never fail to enthrall audiences.
