"This Erlkönig is a gift to the violinist," says Vilde Frang. "There is such precision and accuracy in Ernst’s transcription – it works so well that it sounds like it was written for the violin." Discover her album juxtaposing works by Paganini and Schubert: [ Ссылка ]
Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst – considered Paganini’s greatest successor – wrote this "grand caprice" based on one of Schubert’s most thrilling songs, Erlkönig. It sets a poem by Goethe that tells of a frantic night-time horse-ride by a father and his young son, who is tempted by a wicked spirit, the Erlking. When they reach their destination, the child is dead. “There is the challenge of characterising the galloping horse, the father, the son and the Erlkönig himself."
