Thomas pertenece a una generacion especial: "Los niños victimas de la Talidomida".Pese a sus limitciones fisicas muchos de ellos lograron salir avnte.Y su privilegiada voz,su sensibilidd artistica y el apoyo de su familia le dieron los animos para no flaquear frente a las nunca faltantes incompprensiones.

He has the complexity of a master. He IS the music. I am continually impressed. There are colorful singers, technical performers, etc., but the Mr. Quasthoff takes this piece to another level. He breathes life into his song and commands the attention of an audience. Thank God for YouTUbe!
This man sounds like only Thomas Quasthoff can sound - a star in any singer's universe. I first came across him in a broadcast of Fidelio on Sky Arts over Christmas. He is phenomonal and, having experienced his scatting, also a very very perceptive musician.
Cant honestly think he sounds at all like Fischer Dieskau - the tone colour he produces is more like John Shirley Quirk than anyone if one had to say he "sounds like" but is a most unique and great artist
Quasthoff was a "Thalidomide baby." This was a drug that was commonly given to expectant mothers when he was conceived. But the drug tended to stunt the growth of the children whose mothers took it, as well as prevent or hinder arm development.
Comm on Bocelli can not be compared with the Great Pvarotti, but this guy is wonderfull, I think one has to compare him with Steven Hawking who is the greatest cosmologist at the moment in Cambridge.!!
Pavarotti himself once declared Bocelli as his successor, so you think he is a moron? With this statement, he wanted to say, that there is only one Pavarotti. Besides, I don't think of Quasthoff as a genuine tenor, but this is just me.

I think there is a problem among those 5 people who disliked him. Those people don't have any musical taste.
