Daniel Domb, the cellist's cellist, was born in Haifa, Israel in 1944. He began the violin at age eight and switched to the cello at eleven when Paul Tortelier, in Israel at the time, agreed to accept him as a student. When Tortelier returned to Paris, Domb followed and two years later moved to New York where he studied with Leonard Rose. At age fifteen, a few months after arriving in New York, he was chosen by Leonard Bernstein to be a soloist with the New York Philharmonic in the Young Peoples Concerts, televised worldwide. Many solo appearances followed with orchestras including the Chicago Symphony with Ozawa, the Boston Pops with Fiedler, The National Symphony, Saint Louis Symphony and Cleveland Orchestra. Domb also gave recitals in Carnegie Hall, New York's Town Hall, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw. London's Wigmore Hall and many other venues throughout Europe and North America. Domb completed a bachelor and master degree from Juilliard and became a professor at the Oberlin Conservatory at the age of 22. He later served as principal cellist of the Cleveland Orchestra for two years Under Lorin Maazel and then as principal cellist of the Toronto Symphony, a position he held until 2000.

Domb has been featured on numerous orchestral and chamber music recordings and achieved a milestone with the international release of the first and only Canadian recordings of the complete Bach Suites for Solo Cello. Subsequent releases were the Kodaly Sonata for Solo Cello and Spirituals, Meditations, for cello and harp, and four lighter classical CDs with guitar accompaniment: Apollo, Odyssey, Il Sole Italiano and Steppes. These discs have become immensely popular with audiophiles, leading to several re-releases on vinyl.

Domb currently lives in a historic house in Nova Scotia, Canada, where he continues to record, having just completed two cello and guitar CDs to be released in fall of 2020. He is currently recording his cello arrangement the Bach Violin Partita No. 1.
