I heard Quasthoff perform in Vienna and was absolutely thrilled....he is not "good for a handicapped person", he is fabolous in general...He performed a piece by Aribert Riemann, dedicated to him, which was absolutely stunning..."Sprechgesang", a capella...amazing. And he is a very nice fella too. I talked to him and other musicians/singers (Pregardien among them) in a pub in Vienna. He's witty, funny and very sympathetic (as is Pregardien) and a wonderful example that the human will and spirit can overcome all. James Zehm
