Highlight in the music life of Jena
« With warmth and lyrical power bass-baritone Robert Koller gave strong expression to the „human voice“ in the Lamento. It was a highlight of this symphonic concert, when he added his large solo to the course oft the oratorio. »
(Honegger, Danse des Morts - Jena Philharmonic)

Goldberg-Variationen Musikfest
« Heinz Holliger had an outstanding ensemble for his piece: The Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart and the profound baritone Robert Koller who already sang in the opera in Frankfurt. The baritone emerges from the depth strongly. »
Frankfurter Neue Presse
(Ensemble Modern, Emilio Pomarico - Alte Oper Frankfurt)

With long breath (Mendelssohn, Elias)
« The quality of the musical gradations is also beautifully evident in the silent passages... the words of Elias „I journey hence to the wilderness“ resound in a breath-taking pianissimo. »
