About

The present double CD brings together Ernst’s original compositions for violin and piano, his String Quartet No. 1 and arrangements of his works by the two artists heard on this recording: Thomas Christian and Hans Winking. This corresponds to Ernst’s own performance practice: he presented his pieces not only with piano and orchestra but also in string quartet and string quintet ensembles.
