Thomas Quasthoff: Mozart - "Per questa bella mano” Concert Aria for bass K. 612

[@frankysoh]

What a beautiful performance! If Wolfgang Mozart hear it, Mozart would be so proud of Thomas! What a great composition & wonderful sound engineers!

[@antoniboleslawowicz8095]

I’ll basso assoluto! Please don’t retire, Mr. Quasthoff. You’re a living treasure, a man of many talents.

[@petergraham8681]

Mozart‘s last concert aria for bass is, for me, the most beautiful of the 4 he wrote. Splendidly done as on Quasthoff‘s CD collection of Mozart arias. I was fortunate to see & hear him perform this wonderful piece, with other Mozart arias, in Hamburg a few years later.

This is just sublime...such talent...such range...

[@oqium6471]

no talent, pure work

Thomas Quasthoff and W.A. Mozart = ABSOLUTE MAGIC , Wonderful performance!!!

They both are so amazing artists - and they fit together exactly - BRAVISSIMO! excellent!! tune from heaven.

[@1jourviendra]

For people who comments but doesn't know anything about double bass, Mr.Christoph Anacker is one of the best double bass player In the world. About Thomas Quasthof there is nothing to say, everybody knows him...

[@robhaskins]

He plays beautifully!!!!

[@larsarvidson7585]

Totally agree!

[@vitonardi3892]

Grazie ! I Signori Thomas Quasthoff e Christoph Anacker, con tutta questa meravigliosa orchestra, per circa nove minuti mi hanno portato non so dove ma di sicuro in un posto meraviglioso !

[@FedericoFrezzolinifrezZ]

Voce uniforme, impostata alla perfezione, dizione ottima. È uno dei migliori baritoni di sempre.

[@johnnyvarela3248]

Bravi bravi il maestro Thomas Quasthoff! Mozart excelso!

"Per questa bella mano " Per questa bella mano, Per questi vaghi rai Giuro, mio ben, che mai Non amerò che te. L'aure, le piante, i sassi, Che i miei sospir ben sanno, A te qual sia diranno La mia costante fé. Volgi lieti o fieri sguardi, Dimmi pur che m'odi o m'ami, Sempre acceso ai dolci dardi, Sempre tuo vo' che mi chiami, Né cangiar può terra o cielo Quel desio che vive in me.

[@erikaschafer3996]

Lovely Mozart, thanx for sharing

[@antoniboleslawowicz8095]

It’s too bad that Quasthoff has retired from public performance. This aria, which I’d never heard before, is simply gorgeous! Quasthoff, as he can be counted on to do, puts everything he has into it. He has a gorgeous lower register, which is more prominently displayed in his equally superb jazz singing.

[@endhai]

No, not "everything..." he has much more feelings and tecniques to show, listen to the "Winterreise" Schubert kzbin.info/www/bejne/laOQaXWue6lnfMU Or Mahler's "Kindertotenlieder", please enjoy! But I agree, that was the climaxe of his voice's best period. (just someone who adores him since 30 years)

There is no doubt that Thomas Quasthoff is one of te best singers in the world, but...This is quite easy to sing. The challenge is, with no doubt, in the contrabass! Well done!

[@gerlindemayer9645]

Of course that is very easy to sing. 😆try and show us. If one can sing it is easy, yes

[@larsarvidson7585]

@@gerlindemayer9645 I can. I have done it many times. I don't have a recording. Still TQ does it wonderful but still, the challange is in the contrabass

[@gerlindemayer9645]

@@larsarvidson7585 of course. I know that. That’s why Mozart wrote the piece which is actually very rare, having a Double Bass solo. Unfortunately the Double bass is not the best solo instrument.

[@gregoryf4186]

@@gerlindemayer9645there is no best solo instrument. The double bass is a beautiful solo instrument with many capabilities.

Is the double bass tunned in A, D, F#, A?

Dieser Bass ist doch einfach gut mit 6*** ich weiss nicht was ihr wollt,,,

Ich geb dir vollkommen Recht, der Bassist ist besser als so manch anderer... alles nur Neider und Böswillige Menschen hier

SUPER KONTRABAß!!! ABSOLUT!!!

[@1jourviendra]

mittsommermord Ja , es gibt die Leute die kommentieren aber die keine Ahnung haben , was Kontrabass Spielen ist! Christoph Anacker ist einer der besten überhaupt, erste Liga, deshalb ist er auch Heute Solo Kontrabassist in einem der bedeutendsten Orchester Deutschlands geworden

Er ist nicht nur gut, sondern gigantisch. Hört Euch mal den Herrn Levinson mit Quastof unter Muti in NY an. Da "seht" ihr mas einen Verleich! - Kaum jemand hat Ahnung wie schwer diese Nummer ist!

[@aaronorel3254]

Does anyone know what tuning system the bassist was using? Was he in solo, orchestral, or Viennese?

[@ejlarsonstratford]

Viennese

[@alanoporto-baritono1528]

Quasthoff is a bassbaritone, not a baritone.

[@0schubert]

sound engineer; double bass is to soft! hardly can hear

[@Perotinus1]

There's no reason not to use period instruments any more...singer is great, but orchestra lacks shine and character.

[@universalensemble2572]

Thomas singt immer Super!!! Aber ist es sehr schade, daß dieser Bassist viel Missverständnis für dieses Stück hat.

[@emils4049]

Und was bitte soll dieses Verständnis denn sein?

[@emils4049]

Sie können es mir ruhig sagen... Ich verstehe was von Musik und ich widerspreche Ihnen wehement.

[@nisanus]

Der Bassist ist hervorragend! Ahnen Sie überhaupt wie schwer der Basspart dieser Konzertarie ist?!

[@heinrichnutzel7031]

Christoph Anacker ("dieser Bassist") FANTASTICO!!! Der Name des Kontrabassisten ist übrigens angegeben! Ihre Umgangsformen sind nicht den ausführenden Künstlern angemessen...;

[@1jourviendra]

Universal Ensemble Wer Ahnung von Kontrabass hat, wird wissen, dass der Christoph Anacker fantastisch gespielt hat. Das Stück ist nämlich extrem virtuos! Eine enorme Leistung, musikalisch und technisch. Chapeau!
