All admirers of this wonderful artist should here all 3 of these discs of Japanese lieder (almost all sung in German translation). The composers are accomplished and the poetry shares with German romanticism an acute appreciation for the natural world. One can see why Haefliger lavished such care on these works and why the audiences (in the live tracks) have such love for this irreplaceable performer. Very beautiful music.
