Joseph Malkin - Cello - Träumerei - Schumann - 1910

Joseph Malkin (1879-1969) was born in Propoisk, Russia (now Slawharad, Belarus) on September 25, 1879. His first cello teacher, starting in 1892, was Ladislas Alois. In 1895, Malkin entered the Paris Conservatory, where he studied under Henri Rabaud, and received the first prize in cello in 1898. In the Autumn of 1898, Joseph Malkin toured European countries with his violinist brother Jacques, Jacques' violinist wife Ingeborg, and two of her sisters, pianist Gerda Magnus and cellist Bodil Magnus. He made his debut in Berlin in 1899, and performed there in 1899-1900. In 1900, he was given a 1695 Ruggieri cello by General von Moltke. He played solo cello with the Berlin Philharmonic under Arthur Nikisch from 1902-1908, and during this time played cello with the Witek trio, with Anton Witek, later Concertmaster of the Boston Symphony, and at that time Concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic. In 1908, Malkin left Berlin and joined the Brussels Quartet, and also toured Europe, seeking to establish a solo career. Malkin made his American debut in 1909. Malkin was back in Germany at the outset of World War 1 in 1914, and it was Malkin's friendship with Chief of the German General Staff General Helmuth von Moltke (who had presented him, in 1900, with a 1695 Ruggieri) that allowed him to gain an exit visa to go to Boston. He joined the Boston Symphony Orchestra as Principal cello 1914-1919, and played as Principal cello in the Chicago Symphony 1919-1922. In Chicago, he formed a trio with his brothers Jacques, violinist, and Manfred, pianist. In 1924-1925, Malkin toured, accompanying Metropolitan Opera soprano Geraldine Farrar. From 1925-1927, Malkin was Principal cello with the New York Symphony under Walter Damrosch. In 1933, the family founded the Malkin Conservatory of Music in Boston. Malkin invited Schoenberg to come to the United States, and Schoenberg taught at the Conservatory for one year (1933-1934) immediately upon his emigration. The Malkin Conservatory closed in 1943, and Malkin, in the 1943-1944 season, joined the New York Philharmonic for six years, retiring at the end of the 1948-1949 season. In 1961, Malkin was the recipient of the first Piatigorsky Award from the Violoncello Society of New York. He died in New York City in 1969. All photographs from the archives of Fern Malkine-Falvey.
