I recently got to hear Thomas Quasthoff sing the Brahms Requiem with the
Chicago Symphony at the recent ACDA national convention.  What an utterly
amazing singer!  I came right home and ordered every cd I could get my
hands on.  Thus far I have listened to his Winterreise, which I found to
be stunning, and his Schumann recital, equally fine.  I've some Bach and
Mozart on the way.  Some of you may know that Mr. Quasthoff has a severe
physical disability, and for him to have overcome it and sing in the
magnificent way that he did in Chicago reduced me to tears.  I wonder if
anyone else has thoughts on this great artist.  I would love to correspond
with him if anyone knows how to reach him.
