Daniel Lozakovich’s rich, romantic style of playing often sees him likened to the iconic violinists of the 20th century. On his latest album, Spirits, he celebrates some of his forebears in the hope of passing on their style and repertoire to younger generations. “When I hear these violinists play I understand why the violin is my life”, he says. Partnered by pianist Stanislav Soloviev, Lozakovich performs favourite encores by Elgar, Debussy, Falla, Gluck, Brahms and Kreisler.
