Thomas Quasthoff sings "Der Leiermann" from Franz Schubert's song cycle "Die Winterreise".[More:]

Thought I'd write a Mefi post about him but it's been done. Classical singer, was refused admission to music school because a Thalidomide child who can't play an instrument, forged a highly successful career anyway.
I love his Schubert lieder. Such a dramatic singer.

Beautiful beautiful voice. And beautiful Schubert, too.

I had the good fortune to see him several times - he came to the Oregon Bach Festival quite frequently.

He has an amazing concentration of power in that voice. I think I heard he's to retire, which means I'll probably never see him sing live now. Shame.

My favourite rendition of Erlkönig.
