Upon Thomas Quasthoff's arrival at the Verbier Festival for the first time in 2003, he instantly felt a sense of musical belonging. Nearly two decades later, his remarkable debut performance of Schubert songs with orchestral accompaniment sets the stage for a program showcasing his immense musical prowess. This highly anticipated album from the Verbier Festival Gold label features Gustav Mahler's "Songs of a Wayfarer," followed by Johann Sebastian Bach's "I Will Gladly Carry the Cross-Staff."
