Description
The cathedral organist Daniel Beckmann from Mainz has collected here original organ works by Schumann and works for the pedal piano, with which the composer intensively studied in Dresden in 1845.
The instrument used was built in 1836 by Bernhard Dreymann for St. Ignaziuskirche in Mainz and represents very well the change in German organ building away from the baroque tradition and towards the romanticism.
Daniel Beckmann was appointed as the principal organist at the age of 29 at Mainz Cathedral by Cardinal Lehmann in 2010. An active concert activity has led him to well-known organ and music festivals in Germany and abroad. He has been awarded several prestigious prizes including the 1st prize at the International Organ Competition of Saint-Maurice.
Numerous TV, CD and broadcasting company productions complete his musical activities, as well as being appointed as a jury member and participating in several international organ competitions.
