Thomas Quasthoff - Georgia on my mind

• Thomas Quasthoff, a classically trained bass-baritone from Germany, one of the best at performing Bach and Schubert, has immersed himself in the African American musical literature to such a point that there is hardly any difference in his phrasing to that of an African American. His Swing Low Sweet Chariot version of that "Negro" Spiritual is proof of that. To sing African American music well, one has to understand rejection, pain and hurt, and Quasthoff can surely identify with them.

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.

the sound of his voice reminds me of Paul Robeson altho' Robeson had a deeper voice

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

African American music also takes a lot more blood and guts and "fighting spirit" than most classical music
