Violin Prodigy on Vinyl LP!

The Warner Classics label debut of Daniel Lozakovich is a recital with pianist Mikhail Pletnev. Repertoire features César Franck: Sonata for violin and piano in A Major FWV 8, and Edvard Grieg: Violin sonata No. 3, Op. 45.

Violinist Daniel Lozakovich's majestic music-making has left critics and audiences spellbound. "Perfect mastery. An exceptional talent," observed Le Figaro after a performance in Verbier Festival, while the Boston Globe praised the "poise, tonal purity, and technique to spare" of his debut with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Andris Nelsons at the Tanglewood Festival in July 2017.

Daniel was born in Stockholm in 2001 and began playing the violin when he was almost seven. He made his solo debut two years later at the age of nine with the Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra and Vladimir Spivakov in Moscow. Aged 15, Lozakovich signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon, and in 2018 released his debut album of Bach's two violin concertos in collaboration with the Kammerorchester des Symphonieorchesters des Bayerischen Rundfunks together with the solo Partita No. 2.

None but the Lonely Heart, Daniel's second album, was released in 2019. Dedicated to Tchaikovsky, it included the Violin Concerto, and the disc was recorded live with the National Philharmonic of Russia and Vladimir Spivakov. Grammophone Magazine named this recording as "Top choice" spanning 70 years of best recordings of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto.

Daniel's third album, released in 2020, centered on the Beethoven Violin concerto, again recorded live, with the Münchner Philharmoniker under Valery Gergiev, and released as an audio album and e-video, in the 250th Beethoven anniversary year. It was an incredibly significant project to Daniel, who regards the concerto as one of the all-time greatest concerti ever written.

On 2023's Spirits, his fourth Deutsche Grammophon recording, he celebrated some of his forebears in the hope of passing on their style and repertoire to younger generations.
