Daniel Lozakovich & Stanislav Soloviev
- Date
- 7 November 2019 – 8:30pm
- Place
- Auditorium
Swedish violinist Daniel Lozakovich revealed his astonishing talent at a very early age, and signed with the Deutsch Grammophon label when he was just 15. Now, having turned 18, he is visiting the Auditorium of the Fondation accompanied by Russian pianist Stanislav Soloviev to record a disc dedicated to violin and piano duets, for the same label (to be released in spring 2020).
Their programme leads us on a musical journey to the sound of the "Reynier" Stradivarius loaned to Lozakovich by the LVMH group. This incredible duo will take in many countries, evoking the Viennese charm of Kreisler, the tenderness of the British Elgar, the Hungarian exuberance of Brahms' dances, and the French elegance of Debussy and Saint-Saëns. They will also visit the Spain of Sarasate and Falla, the Argentina of Ponce and the Russia of Rachmaninov: embark on a musical journey.
