5.0 out of 5 stars A remarkable CD, December 19, 2002
This review is from: Thomas Quasthoff: Basso (Audio CD)
This is possibly the best and most listened to CD that I own. Quasthoff's artistry is unmatched by any performer I have yet to hear, and his technique is wonderful. I have seen him in concert, and I can say that this recording does do him justice. I especially like his recordings of the arias from Handle's 'Messiah' and the last track from Bach's 'St. Matthew Passion.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality!, May 4, 2003
This review is from: Thomas Quasthoff: Basso (Audio CD)
I'll be honest with you, I listen to opera about twice a month, but when I do- it's usually this one.
Thomas Quasthoff has excellent range and injects a truckload of emotion into his singing. The arrangements are beautiful, the recording quality is excellent as well. If you're like me and are not an expert on opera, but just want to listen to something enjoyable, then I reccomend this one to you, my friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Replacement CD, September 25, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Thomas Quasthoff: Basso (Audio CD)
I already reviewed this product when evaluating the seller. This is one of my all time favorite CD's Thomas Quastoff's voice is like molasses and butter all rolled into one. He can be stern and authoritative if he wants to, but I love the way he sings'Komm Jesu Christ" or however you spell it. The last track is also hypnotique , with it's "rocking" motion. Good for last thing at night. I found, when I first put it on, that I was a bit saturated with the sound from the other CD. But, If I wait, the time will come when it will seem fresh again.
