Trailer: Thomas Quasthoff - The Singer

Watch the complete documentary in UHD on STAGE+, the streaming service from Deutsche Grammophon: https://stage.plus/quasthoff1994 Before announcing his retirement from public performance in 2012, bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff was one of the world's leading lieder and oratorio singers. A victim of Thalidomide, he initially avoided opera, only taking on specific roles later in his career. Much of this 1994 portrait is devoted to footage of Quasthoff in rehearsal and performance. He is seen meticulously preparing for a recording of Schubert songs; working with composer Aribert Reimann on a particularly difficult piece, written specially for him; and singing music by Bach, Brahms, Mahler and Loewe. Thoughtful, intelligent and charming, Quasthoff also talks about his life, his career and what plans he had for the future.
