It is a center of church music, and the conductor and organist [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neithard_Bethke Neithard Bethke] became the beloved teacher of the young Axel. Famous musicians like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hurford Peter Hurford] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Donath Helen Donath] came to the cathedral, including the orquestra of St. Martin in the Fields, all invited by Neithard Bethke.
