Aged 15, Lozakovich signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon, and in June 2018 released his debut album of Bach’s two violin concerti and the Violin Partita No. 2. The album reached number 1 in the music category of the French Amazon charts and the classical album charts in Germany. None but the Lonely Heart, Lozakovich’s second album, was released in October 2019. Dedicated to the music of Tchaikovsky, it includes the Violin Concerto, recorded live with the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia and Vladimir Spivakov. The album was unanimously praised by the press, with Lozakovich hailed as an “exceptional talent” by Le Figaro. Lozakovich’s third album, released in September 2020, centres on Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, recording live with the Münchner Philharmoniker, together with Lozakovich’s close artist partner and the orchestra’s Chief Conductor, Valery Gergiev, and released as an audio album and e-video, in the 250th Beethoven anniversary year. An incredibly significant project to Lozakovich, who regards the concerto as one of the all time greatest concerti ever written, the album raced to the top of the streaming release charts on Spotify and Tidal.

Lozakovich has been awarded many prizes including 1st prize at the Vladimir Spivakov International Violin Competition (2016) and “The Young Artist of the Year” award at the Festival of the Nations (2017), the Premio Batuta (Mexico) and the Premio Excelentia under the honorary presidency of Queen Sofia of Spain.
