Questhoff is one of those guys who can sing it all. Enormous voice. Beautiful voice.
What a superb voice. He has such colour and his range is phenomenal.
This man is amazing! One of today's best bass-baritones. Thanks for sharing, this is beautiful.
Magnificent! my favourite song sung by my favourite singer. I never thought that any one of my fellow country men could express the bittersweet feelings in this song. Hauntingly beautiful. Now that I found it, I will play it again and again and again!
So there, all of you think that all opera singers can't sing out of their genre! Admittedly most opera singers sound terrible when they try to sing anything other than opera/classical, but there are a few who can sing in other styles. Quasthoff proves here that he can do it! Eileen Farrell and Benjamin Luxon (who actually had a "second career" as a folk singer with his singing partner, Bill Crofut) are two others who can do this. This version of Georgia on my mind by Thomas Quasthoff is superb!
It's difficult to tell from your comments just why you're calling me a liar. Have you ever heard Farrell singing blues or jazz or pop? Have you ever heard Luxon singing folk music? Perhaps you think that all opera singers can sing outside their genre? Perhaps you think that no opera singers can sing outside of their genre. It's hard to tell from your comment just why you're accusing me of not telling the truth. Perhaps you just don't LIKE hearing opera singers singing out of their genre, but that does not entitle you to call me a liar. My opinion might differ from yours, but I would never accuse you of not telling the truth simply because of that.
Actually, I do know the truth and I reported it. There are few opera singers who can successfully sing outside of their opera/classical genre. They don't know how to adjust their big, operatic sound to successfully sing pop, jazz, rock, blues, musical theater, folk, etc. I mentioned a few who DO know how to adjust that sound so that they can sing well in other genres. Upon further reflection, I would add to that list, Anne Sofie von Otter, who sings pop music very well and Renee Fleming, who sings jazz. She was even the soloist with a jazz combo during the time she was in college. You're evading answering my questions, and since you've being so evasive, it's impossible to talk to you. I will not respond further. I think, perhaps, you're the one who doesn't know the truth when you see it, so I won't be responding to you further.
I was going to say Renee Fleming and Anne Sofie von Otter sang non-operatic genres quite well, then you went ahead and named them :-) I really enjoyed Renee's pop album "Dark Hope". Bryn Terfel, Thomas Hampson, Jessye Norman and Kathy Battle have also done well venturing outside of opera. The latter two even released a live-recording album of spirituals, which was fantastic.
This man is a unique talent, besides being one of this world's true heroes. What a fascinating person he is! Equally at home with classical and gospel music. I admire him very much.
simplemente LO AMOOO!!! es un gran cantante llena todo el escenario solo con su tremenda voz , un abrazo desde Chile !!!
wow I can't believe how good he is in this style even though he is mainly opera.
all that he sings is perfect and so amazing!!!Ich liebe
Thomas, you go,, this is Great and you are a wonderful performer and singer,,, you have all of my respect!!
This is singing .. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING...
Una voz peculiar, se destaca entre los grandes de la ópera y un excelente cantante de jazz. Thomas quasthoff, un cantante que no tiene límites.
It is marvelous to hear this kind of music sung by a major voice with real technique. Quasthoff's English is irreproachable, and although his voice is more baritone than bass (not by much), he sings a surprisingly legit low D-flat at the end.
He's a basso cantante with an upper register that keeps going up and up into the stratosphere, much like Samuel Ramey, but even more versatile. His voice doesn't, however, have Ramey's flexibility and agility.
@@aneamarlivana172 He is a baritone with a resonant low register. Though not a true bass (speaking of voice type) still amazing low notes.
@@rtrich.93 Have you seen his jazz stuff? He sings a sustained contra A at the end of this piece.

@@rtrich.93 I know what voice types are and I don't hear him as a baritone at all. Some tried to call Ramey a baritone too, but they were incorrect. I have never heard Quasthoff classified as a baritone. Most of the time I see him classified as a bass-baritone, which might make sense if his voice didn't encompass the very bottom of the lower register of the bass range. Most bass-baritones have an "in-between" voice that really isn't comfortable at the bottom of the lower register of the bass range or the top of the upper register of the baritone range. (Think Bryn Terfel, for instance.) Quasthoff's range goes from the top of the upper register of the baritone range down to the very bottom of the lower register of the bass range. I'll have to disagree with you and still say he's a basso cantante with a very extended upper register.

Hey again, 2 years are over already, crazy. Now, Quasthoff is a natural baritone, I am from Germany and did 'study' voice briefly. So I know what I am referring to. The thing is some baritones can truly go that low (me included; I am deep baritone myself). In Germany a bass-baritone ain't nothing else than a deep, dark baritone singing voice bordering on the bass spectrum [meaning that Quasthoff can surely hit some resonant impressive "bass-like" notes - altho he ain't a bass by nature !)
He is a dramatic baritone with a great power in his lower register (resulting in the respective dark (basso) sound). Plus, for a baritone it is mandatory to push the voice a bit down par force in order to create (at least) the impression as if he would be sounding as a natural bass (or basso cantante as you suggest). A real bass does not really to push anything when being in his normal "modus" or state as he is blessed with this terrific depth by nature. So, no need to "disguise" or fake any dark tones or notes in general. A low baritone on the other side, will usually always need to "push" a bit to reach up to the same kind of low sound. My personal note is: as a male singer - you are either a baritone or a bass but not two in one ! Same goes to female voices; there are dark mezzos approaching the alto spectrum and natural alto voices.
He is a master of the singing techniques, that's what people probably mean by saying that. I get your point and you may be right, I just wanted to speak for Quasthoff's dedicated and honest fans. :)
Fantastic!👏🏾👍🏾💪🏾👌🏾❤️
Somewhere in Heaven Ray Charles is looking down and smiling.
That!
He certainly is 😊
IT IS REALLY WONDERFUL
Man he's good! What an incredibly singer he is... and such an amazing individual!
Pretty impressive how he can transition so easily between operatic and popular styles.
I agree
I believe that Jazz was his first love.
He is THE MAN
Amazing interpretation!!!
Damn Quasthoff is such a boss
ho avuto il piacere di conoscerlo questa sera a Berlino, dopo un concerto di "Die schöne Magelone" di Brahms. un uomo straordinario!
Wow. What a range this guy has!
Amazing singer!!!
Zuper! I thought, I was in Lousianna, altgough singer is pure deutsch. i'm from latvia (it's a small land at eastern Europe) and we have great traditions at opera performing, but no traditions(at basis level) in jazz and blues so it was somethin' unusual to see Thomas in this role! Well timed, with beautiful timbre and sound controle. this makes me sentimental. thanks, Thomas! :)
Amazing voice
grande
Ich kannte ihm als Oper und Oratorio Sänger, aber er ist auch sehr gut als Jazzman!!!!
Wunderbar!!
I wouldn't mind getting a look at those piano chords.
Hab ich gestern gesehen. Sehr, sehr geil.

Impressive!
Es un cantante excepcional con unos grandes dotes naturales y una técnica bien depurada...

La biografía de Thomas quasthoff
Hoagy Carmichael is the great composer of this tune, a white person; however, this tune has been stylized and made popular in the African American "soul" genre by Ray Charles. So much so, that when the State of Georgia through their legislature decided to make the song the official anthem for the state, they invited Ray Charles to sing it. If you read my note I'm talking about the style, not the composition. And I love Carmichael as well. Best regard!
@kalpubinc: Thanks for the info! I checked out your site. What a véritable feast of music! Cheers, mon ami!
So glad some one credits Hoagy, a dear friend of mine. He had classical ambitions, wrote a symphony called Johnny Appleseed. Georgia was actually the name of his sister!
@Beobachter2010 And sounds a bit like one too.
Would anyone happen to know where I could get my hands on a copy of this piano arrangement? It's the best I've ever heard.
My voice a little bit similar by timbre. But I'm can't sing so well...
Who is the pianist? After all, he's half the performance!
Ein guter Sänger, den ich allerdings als unverschämten Menschen, gleich 2 mal erlebt habe in auf meiner Heimatstadt Hildesheim
Belo !!!!
HOLY Db BATMAN
2 people are a NBA players and soprano singers (?
Man hört das deutsch ein bisschen viel heraus, aber das muss ja nicht unbedingt schlecht sein.
hight baritone ... ? Thomas Quatshoff est baryton basse
Actually, he's a bass with an incredibly wide range.
Effectivement, cela a peu d'importance. Immense chanteur par le talent. Timbre plein, chaud, à la fois velouté et tranchant. Grand palette expressive. Je l'ai découvert dans le Winter reise de Schubert et des airs de Mozart. A mon avis, Thomas Quatshoff représente parfaitement le baryton basse : un timbre chaud et naturel avec un bel aigu.
Trop de chanteurs sont dits baryton basse, alors qu'ils sont barytons. Ils n'ont pas la puissance et l'aisance dans le grave qui les rapprocheraient de la basse (José Van Damme, immense talent ou Bryn Terfel, bête de scène malheureusement désormais affublé d'une voix de canard ...).
Chanter dans un micro facilite le grave. Au passage, chanter dans un micro, ne demande aucun effort au chanteur, mais ne pardonne aucune fausse note. Là encore, on peut admirer la justesse de T.Q.
J'habite dans le sud est de la France. J'ai hâte de pouvoir l'écouter un jour en concert (classique de préférence, sans micro bien sûr).
Rares sont les chanteurs lyriques capables de chanter jazz et blues. La justesse et le timbre de T.Q. épousent naturellement le style. Grand sens du rythme et du swing.
Raphael B I agree. His voice classification is not important when one thinks of his talent. He does have the lower register of a bass, not the "in between" voice of a bass-baritone like Bryn Terfel. Quasthoff is indeed versatile. Unfortunately, I don't think you'll be likely to hear him in concert as he has retired from singing. I never got to hear him live either, and I regret that I never had that experience.
Désolé, je continue en français, mon anglais est trop mauvais. Une comète est passée, je l'ai manquée, tant pis. Et que vive la musique !
His English is remarkably without an accent for a continental European. We can learn to speak virtually perfect French and German, but for some reason the opposite is not the case.
nop
He looks like a black man. Just she the shape of his face, and he sounds like it as well. He does these things so great, even better than classical
@kalpubinc
African American music also takes a lot more blood and guts and "fighting spirit" than most classical music
No
I don't understand all the praises. From the beginning Quasthoff sounds put on. The true soul of the song is missing here. When Ray (or others) sings this song, you hear and feel sadness, deep love, struggle, pain, earth ... With Quasthoff I hear an elaborate, versatile singer performing a song while lacking depth and authenticity.
I admit: It is difficult to switch from a talk to a performance of this song. But even if his fans will never admit: Quasthoff is not a master of all genres!
