Tchaikovsky

After his triumphantly received debut album for Deutsche Grammophon devoted to J. S. Bach’s violin concertos, the young Swedish violinist Daniel Lozakovich now delves into the Tchaikovsky repertoire. “None But The Lonely Heart” is a veritable Tchaikovsky treasure chest, presenting the famous Violin Concerto and other romantically melancholic orchestral and solo masterpieces by the great Russian composer. For this album Lozakovich has been working again with Vladimir Spivakov. The conductor enabled the young violinist to give his solo début. It took place on 21 May 2010 in Moscow’s Svetlanov Hall, where the amazed audience heard a barely nine-year-old boy play the Méditation, from Jules Massenet’s opera Thaïs. The recordings on this album were made in the same venue nine years later, again with the Russian National Philharmonic under Maestro Spivakov. This album also includes several new transcriptions of music pieces that had a great impact on Daniels artistic development: “None but the Lonely Heart” from Romance op. 6, “Valse Sentimentale” op. 51, “Valse-Scherzo” op. 34, the “Méditation” as well as the “Mélodie” from Souvenir d’un lieu cher op. 42 and “Lensky’s aria” from Eugene Onegin, in an arrangement for violin and orchestra that derives from a transcription by Leopold Auer. Daniel says: ‘That was the first opera I fell in love with. Lensky’sAria truly inspired me, and I felt I could express it on the violin’. To Daniel, its Tchaikovsky’s beautiful melodies that make him
