Baroque Cello Concert

_{Ludwig Frankmar (b. 1960) grew up in a family of Swedish church musicians and studied in his hometown of Malmö with Guido Vecchi and, after many years as an orchestral musician, with Thomas Demenga at the Basel University of Music. After leaving his career as an orchestral musician, he initially focused on contemporary music. Contacts and collaborations with church musicians led him to early music, after which he studied Baroque music at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam. He concentrates on early solo music for the small bassinstruments from the late Renaissance and Baroque periods, when there was not yet a clear distinction between viols and violoncellos. OneHis instrument is a five-string Baroque cello by Louis Guersan (Paris, 1756). He is a member of the ensemble of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Congregation in Berlin-Lankwitz.}
