Discover spellbinding violinist Daniel Lozakovich, born in 2001 and signed by Deutsche Grammophon at just 15 years old.
He joins the Philharmonia for Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2. Lyrical, long-breathed melodies fill the first two movements of the piece. But the violin’s singing lines are tinged with darkness, and give way to a stumbling dance in the finale – a chance to experience different facets of Lozakovich’s ‘exceptional talent’ (Le Figaro).
Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony is widely considered one of the composer’s best works: this is unabashed Romanticism at its best. With the stormy horn motif that opens the second movement followed by a fierce scherzo, and the singing clarinet theme of the third – one of the most beautiful melodies Rachmaninov ever wrote – the symphony boasts many memorable moments.
