"I wanted to create an album purely from the heart." For the 13 short pieces on ‘Lost to the World’ violinist Daniel Lozakovich is joined by the distinguished Canadian pianist Hélène Mercier. The title of the album – meditative and nostalgic in mood – references a transcription of one of Mahler’s greatest songs.

Among the other composers are Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Fauré, Debussy, Kurt Weill and, representing the French chanson, Joseph Kosma and Philippe Sarde.
