Daniel Lozakovich, violinist

"The first time I saw the violin," says Daniel Lozakovich, "I knew directly: I'm going to be a violinist… It was like some magic spell." Signed to Deutsche Grammophon at the tender age of 15, Lozakovich seems to have been born to make music. In this wide-ranging conversation with Gramophone's James Jolly, the universally acclaimed virtuoso talks about connecting with the past through music, the ineffable perfection of a Stradivarius violin, the immortality of great art, the works he can't wait to incorporate into his repertoire, and more… Presented with the generous support of Madame Aline Foriel-Destezet.
