Joseph Schuster(1903–1969) was acellistborn inConstantinopleof Russian-Jewish descent.

On a trip through Russia, the famous Russian composerAlexander Glazunov(1865-1936) heard young Schuster and was impressed with his talent. With Glazunov\'s help, Schuster entered theSt. Petersburg Conservatory of Musicat the age of 10 to study thecello. At the time of theRussian Revolution, his family fled to Berlin where he continued his studies underHugo Beckerat theBerlin Hochschule. In 1929,Schusterwas awarded the post of solocellistin theBerlin Philharmonic OrchestraunderFurtwängler, the youngest person ever to hold that position. He remained with the Berlin Philharmonic until 1934 when he moved to New York.

His New York debut was a critical sensation, and he was immediately invited to become solocellistwith theNew York Philharmonic. One of the many highlights of his New York Philharmonic career was on November 14, 1943 when he was scheduled to playStrauss\'sDon QuixoteunderBruno Walter. Walter was ill that day and as a replacement, a very youngLeonard Bernsteinconducted in his debut with the New York Philharmonic. Overwhelmingly enthusiastic response by the audience and press ensured Bernstein\'s career was launched.

After the 1943-1944 season, Schuster left the New York Philharmonic in order to devote himself entirely to solo concert work. He and his family—wife, Katherine Schuster, and son, John Schuster—moved toBeverly Hills, Californiain 1947. For the remainder of his career, Schuster traveled both nationally and internationally giving recitals and playing with the greatconductorsandorchestrasof the world. He performed on a 1720Goffrillercello, an instrument formerly owned byEmanuel Feuermann; later, it would be played byJascha Silberstein.

Schuster made numerous recordings of concertos, sonatas and other chamber works with accomplished partners, such as hisAmerican Voxset ofBeethoven\'s complete music for cello and piano withFriedrich Wührer; his first recording for that label, with the same pianist, featured theRichard Straussand firstBrahmscello sonatas.Schuster also recorded concerti with well-known orchestras. He also appeared on radio and television programs throughout his career. He made nine enormously successful tours throughout Europe, Central and South America and Asia. Schuster was featured soloist under such conductors andMehta.
