Thomas Quasthoff was born disabled after his mother took thalidomide but nevertheless considers himself a fortunate fellow. Born in Germany in 1959, Quasthoff gives a compact description of his current physical appearance: “Here is a four-foot, three-inch concert singer without knee joints, arms, or upper thighs, with only four fingers on the right hand and three on the left.” Despite his small frame and malformed parts, he has a big voice and a bigger heart.
