I simply don't have the words for such a msuical gem... for this is one of the highest level of Beauty that any human being can create, both as a composition and an interpretation.
With classical music, I either enjoy or feel totally indifferent. That said, I am so happy when I discover such treasures.. When I hear music like this, it's like the universe slows to a still, as if to hold its breathe, and let a tiny ray of silence enter our hearts to wash out all of our worries and sorrows. And as the silence unfolds, we follow its tracks out of the darkness, and enter a realm of peace, renewed hope, and eternal love. God's blessings to this angelic duo, and thanks to all who we're involved in providing access to this incredibly beautiful piece of music.
I just learned about him in my developmental biology book. His mother was prescribed the drug thalidomide while pregnant as a mild sedative during the first 1-2 months after conception. This teratogen disrupts proper limb formation while the embryo is still developing. He was dealt a hard hand of life and has overcome the odds.
This song cycle will keep me occupied my entire life. From year to year I listen to different interpretations on this. It started in 1998, when I was 36. Now I am 56, and I still read, sing and listen these 24 songs.
Holy moly! Mind blown. The voice. But also the expression. The entire story played out on his face as well as his voice. Another great role model. Danke schon!
Ich habe früher im Radio Aufnahmen mit ihm gehört und das Gesamtkunstwerk geliebt. Zufällig sah ich jetzt seine körperliche Gestalt und freue mich sehr, dass Herr Quasthoff seine Stimme entdeckt hat und uns an dieser schönen, perfekt interpretierten Musik teilhaben lässt. Vielleicht findet er ja noch einmal die Kraft für diese Perfektion, bei der jedes Wort zu verstehen. Ich gönne ihm aber auch den Ruhestand, wenn dieser selbst gewählt ist. Vielen Dank, für diese wunderbare, perfekte Aufnahme! Und vielen Dank, für die Musik!
That this man retired from singing is a huge loss for the musical world. His voice and delivery are simply outstanding.
His voice is, I feel, between Dietrich Fisher-Dieskau and Fritz Wunderlich. The great voice of our time!

Such a warm, enveloping voice, full of love and great sensitivity. Love this so much!!
Every time I hear Mr. Quasthoff it sends chills down my body, and my heart is badly wrenched... he is just a magician... he is just beautiful.
There should have been an enormous standing ovation. What an example of courage and talent! Thank you from a deplorable.
What a beautiful expressive artist and heavenly voice.
We are limited only by our thoughts.

Ich bin ein Fan von Thomas Quasthoff, seit ich ihn das erste Mal im Radio gehört habe. Ich hoffe, lieber Herr Quasthoff, es geht Ihnen gut!

Hi Thomas, habe dich mal im Taxi gehabt. Ich habe dir gesagt, dass ich ein großer Verehrer deiner Kunst sei. Alles Gute auf deinem weiteren Weg!! Love
