Everyone loves the cello, but until now, it was rarely heard as Daniel and Carey Domb thought it should be. In concert and in their four recordings they capture the beauty and soul of the cello as never before. Daniel plays beloved melodies from all genres suppoeted by Carey’s gentle guitar accompaniment. Apollo is music for relaxing and reflecting of intimacy and heart. “Domb’s exquisite liqueur tone, his evocative sense of propriety and his delicate restraint make for a haunting recital.” – James Strecker. Artsbeat Daniel Domb began his studies at the age of 11 with Paul Tortelier in Isreal and Paris, and a few years later was chosen by Leonard Bernstein to appear with the New York Philharmonic. After study with Leonard Rose at Julliard, he earned a Masters degree at age 21 and became a professor at the Oberlin Conservatory that same year. After two years as principal cellist of the Cleveland Orchestra, Daniel was invited to be Principal Cellist of the Toronto Symphony in 1974. Carey Domb started her musical life with the cello, receiving both Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from Rice University in Texas. After her experience in the Montovani Orchestra, Carey developed a penchant for lighter classical music which was shared by Daniel. The guitar and cello duo evolved from a heartfelt desire of the Dombs to play together. A simple framework of acoustic guitar brings out the haunting beauty of the cello and creates a special atmosphere perfect for the music the Dombs love to play. Carey began to accompany Daniel on guitar, arranging many of their favourite pieces. The combination of cello and guitar has been so successful that the couple performs regularly for both public and private events in Canada and the north-eastern United States.
