I have just happened upon a marvellous YouTube clip from 1991 with Hans Hotter and Thomas Quasthoff. Hotter listens to the young Quasthoff in Nebensonnen and then we see Quasthoff obviously deeply moved as the 82-year-old master sings Der Leiermann for him.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
