  • "Felix Gygli from Basel, currently a scholarship holder at the Zurich Opera House, attracts attention with a high level of text comprehension and a balanced baritone across all registers. His name is definitely one to be remembered."

    Kathrin Signer, BZ Basel

  • "The former has quite exceptional potential and should become […] one of the great baritones of tomorrow: long, brilliant, homogeneous voice, with a beautiful intelligence of the vocal phrase."

    Raymond Duffaut, Les saisons de la voix

  • "Baritone Felix Gygli singing Vaughan William’s ‘Heart’s Haven’ is something I will never forget. Phan described his voice as a ‘beautiful, glorious instrument’ and it is. Gygli is also a remarkably expressive singer."

    Rick Perdian, Seen and Heard International

  • "With his beefy instrument, the Swiss baritone makes a glorious noise (...) the line is beautifully supported, and he was especially engaging in the artful naiveties of Wolf’s Mörike Lieder."
