By Roy Westbrook| Bachtrack@ Bachtrack’s English Editor recently opened a review with the observation, “Another Friday night, another Shostakovich symphony at the Barbican.” The great Dmitri Dmitryevich is indeed a frequent presence on London concert programmes, to a degree that his senior contemporary, Sergei Prokofiev, has seemed relatively neglected. His presence in concerts is often confined to three or four of his eight concertos, mostly the two for violin.
By Roy Westbrook| Bachtrack@ Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto begins with the soloist alone. Daniel Lozakovich made an immediate impression with his first pair of six-note phrases, enough to hint at what was to come in terms of warmth of tone (his very first note G is the lowest on the instrument) and his very quiet playing. The Philharmonia players seemed chamber partners at times (the concerto is modestly scored).
