Life

Born in Niederlößnitz (now part of Radebeul) in the Kingdom of Saxony, Schuch grew up with his parents, the conductor Ernst von Schuch and the opera singer Clementine von Schuch-Proska, in his native town. He was a brother of the coloratura soprano Liesel Schuch-Ganzel and the soprano Käthe von Schuch-Schmidt.[1] His daughter Clementine von Schuch (1921-2014) also became an opera singer.[2][3]

Schuch studied at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber and was engaged as a violoncellist in Berlin, Vienna and Dresden. From 1915 he was active as a music teacher.[4]

Schuch died on November 24, 1963, in Dresden at the age of 77.
