Name the current bass baritone who has but four fingers on one hand and three on the other.(There's a small clue in the heading of this post )

Thomas Quasthoff. He was born a victim of thalidomide.

That's the man. He was singing in the live concert of Mozart last night on France 5 TV, direct from the Staatsoper, Berlin, with the Staatskapelle Orchestra under Barenboim (who also played).

Not all French TV is old films and imported cop shows....just most of it
