"Beckmann's melody on the cello is of imcomparable beauty. His warm tone is deeply touching. He moves on his instrument with fascinating smoothness, and he has found a new, very personal way of playing the cello. He is forging the way into the future for our instrument."
This was said by the cellist of the century Pierre Fournier about his favourite student Thomas Beckmann. The Düsseldorf cellist will be playing in the inner courtyard of Castel Gandolfo on Saturday, August 11th for Pope Benedikt XVIth and his brother Georg Ratzinger, the former director of music of Regensburg Cathedral.
