Moritz Ernst

Moritz Ernst is a German classical pianist known for his dedication to contemporary and often overlooked piano repertoire. With a career focused on breathing new life into 20th- and 21st-century works, he’s become a go-to interpreter for composers like Viktor Ullmann, Miklós Maros, and Walter Braunfels. His discography—packed with albums on labels like Toccata Classics—showcases a mix of premiere recordings and fresh takes on modernist gems, from haunting Holocaust-era pieces to avant-garde experiments.

When he’s not in the studio, Ernst collaborates closely with living composers and academic institutions, blending scholarly rigor with expressive performances. His recent projects, like Ralf Yusuf Gawlick’s *Herzliche Grüße Bruno* or Swan Hennessy’s piano works, highlight his knack for balancing technical precision with emotional storytelling. A passionate advocate for music education, he also teaches, ensuring that these intricate works resonate with new generations of listeners and players
