I think the concert was in Braunschweig in 2001 just before or after the 9/11 attacks

I am never quite sure which one is better: Dieskau or Quasthoff. This morning I thought Dieskau was so clear and beautiful, very sincere. But in 2001 I listened to Quasthoff live and I thought it was incredible 🤔

Stimmt. Klingt sehr macho und nicht sehr klug. Ich wuerd zur Pensionierung gern in den Sonnenuntergang reiten - ein Kollege aus USA hat das vor Jahren umgesetzt: ist am letzten Arbeitstag mit Ehefrau und zwei Pferden im KH erschienen um genau das zu tun. Genial 🐴🌅

I bet that was acquired from French soldiers during the Napoleonic wars. Like “Fisimatenten” - from “visitez ma tente” (would you like to have a quick look at my tent by any chance?)
