German bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff has been lauded as ‘the man with the most beautiful voice in the world’ (Der Stern). While he made his name as a classical singer, Quasthoff possesses a vocal versality and expertise across a range of musical genres, from pop and soul to opera and folk.
The death of his brother marked a turning point in Quasthoff’s musical career. In mourning, he lost his voice. After period of rest and radical experimentation, Quasthoff swapped classical music for jazz. He dedicated his wide-ranging jazz programme For You to his listeners – both old and new – for their steadfast commitment to his vocals, regardless of the genre.
Quasthoff returns to the International Festival with two exceptional jazz musicians.
