Bauer is a recipient of the prestigious Schneider-Schott Music Prize. Many of his CDs, including Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and Beethoven’s Christus am Ölberge with Philippe Herreweghe conducting the Collegium Vocale Gent and Orchestre des Champs-Élysées have received prestigious awards. He received his earliest musical training as a member of the legendary Regensburg Domspatzen (Cathedral Choir) and studied voice at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München.
