Spirits
Daniel Lozakovich’s rich, romantic style of playing often sees him likened to the iconic violinists of the 20th century. On Spirits, his latest Deutsche Grammophon recording, he celebrates some of his forebears in the hope of passing on their style and repertoire to younger generations. “I’ve chosen a selection of very accessible miniatures, which I associate with different violinists,” he explains. “All these musicians had such strong, soulful spirits that it’s impossible to forget their sound.” Partnered by pianist Stanislav Soloviev, Lozakovich performs his favorite encores by Elgar, Debussy, Falla, Gluck, Brahms, and Kreisler.
