Summary
Professor Richard Ernst, you were born and raised in the Swiss city of Winterthur. At that time, the philanthropist Werner Reinhart and conductor Hermann Scherchen took the local symphony orchestra, nowadays known as the Orchester Musikkollegium Winterthur, to a top level. You enjoyed live performances by some of the greatest performers of all time such as Clara Haskil, Igor Stravinsky and Pablo Casals, to name just a few.
