Heinrich Wilhelm ERNST: Music for Violin and Orchestra
This new CD presents an appealing cross-section of Ernst’s own music, and should certainly raise the profile of a violin genius whose name is now seldom heard. It is performed by the award-winning violinist Ilya Grubert, who plays a 1740 Guarnieri violin once owned by Henryk Wieniawski.
