Ernst Glaser (24 February 1904 – 3 April 1979) was a German / Norwegian
Biography
He was born in Hamburg but moved to Norway in 1928 to take up the post as concert master of the Oslo Philharmonic after Max Rostal. The two had studied together under Carl Flesch, and when Rostal was offered a position as a professor in Berlin, he suggested Glaser as his successor.
In Oslo, Glaser worked as an orchestra musician, a soloist and a teacher. He also had solo engagements in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Israel. He introduced himself to the Norwegian audience in autumn 1928 with a recital of Sibelius' Violin Concerto, and every year after that, he was soloist in the violin concerto. He gave first performances of several violin concertos, including those of Finn Arnestad, Olav Kielland, Klaus Egge and Fartein Valen, and the rhapsody for violin and orchestra by Bjarne Brustad.
