Thomas Quasthoff - The Complete RCA Recordings
Thomas Quasthoff (bass-baritone) with Charles Spencer & Roberto Szidon (piano) / Württembergisches Kammerorchester Heilbronn, Jörg Faerber
[ Sony Music / RCA Red Seal Masters / 4 CD Box Set ]
Release Date: Tuesday 1 May 2018
A treat for lovers of great singing, the complete RCA recordings of Thomas Quasthoff on 4 CDs, including Winterreise, Dichterliebe, the op. 39 Liederkreis, as well as other famous songs by Schubert and Schumann and a disc devoted to Mozart arias. Reviewing an earlier reissue, Gramophone summed up well what has made this remarkable artist so widely admired: We are here reminded that the eminent bass-baritone has just about every virtue called for in practically all the repertory included here. His voice is faultless in tonal production and technical assurance; he always sings with thought for the text; word and note become as one. These assets are controlled by a sharp intelligent mind and an emotional impulse that makes every reading a sustenance for ear and mind.
