Cellist, conductor and composer. He studied at Escola Municipal de Barcelona (1888-93), while playing at cafes. Later on, he obtained scholarships and continued his studies in Madrid, Brussels and Paris (1893-96). Back to Barcelona in 1896, he was appointed professor at Escola Municipal and in 1897 he began touring Spain with Granados and Crickboom. Between 1899 and 1903, he toured around Europe, the USA and Latin America. Shortly after, he formed a trio with A. Cortot and J. Thibaud (1906-33) and performed all over the world. In Barcelona, he founded the Pau Casals Orchestra (1919) and the Associació Obrera de Concerts (1926). From 1938, he lived in exile in Prada and in Puerto Rico (1957). As a political protest, he did not perform until 1950, when he resumed the composition of the oratorio El Pessebre. After his performance of Bach's solo cello suites, he has been considered a reformist of the cello technique. He composed 61 works (some orchestrated by his brother Enric) and made numerous transcripts. For his social commitment he received the UN Peace Medal (1971).
