	Baritone Quasthoff Triumphant Again
		In case you don’t know, Thomas Quasthoff is “differently abled.” He was a thalidomide baby, and though he has grown into a intelligent, mobile adult, he still has vestigial hands protruding from his shoulders, and shortened legs.
		Quasthoff’s vocal range, expressivity and repertoire are equal or superior to the abilities of barihunks such as Thomas Hampson, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, and Matthias Goerne.
		For encores, Quasthoff sang Schubert’s An die musik, and a terrifying Erlkonig in which his “physique du role” allowed him to give chilling impersonations of both the doomed child and the evil gnome.

		Quasthoff has chosen to take the songs in published order, which is not necessarily the done thing these days.
		As a result, Quasthoff's version of events sounds more of a piece than in some readings, with the final song, "Die Taubenpost" (Pigeon Post), chirruping away merrily without seeming the disastrous faux pas that it can so easily be, coming as it does directly after the impassioned Heine settings.
		Quasthoff also sings this beautifully, but he lacks Ainsley's tender ardour - he is rather fierce at moments, sounding almost threatening rather than pleading.
