While Heaven Wept used to be one of the best-kept secrets of the underground. Ever since the band opted to leave the more doomy side of their sound behind and go for timeless, progressive and epic metal structures, they have a huge cult following. Fear Of Infinity is a brillantly beautiful and highly emotional chameleon of an album – one you have to give time and discover new details with every spin! A melancholic and complex masterpiece, and definitely their most stunning effort so far!

Woelfl is one of the composers who still, like numerous other contemporaries of Mozart and Beethoven, suffers unspeakable slander today; a slander that could probably only be borne out of sheer ignorance and uninformed prejudice.
His prodigious talent at the keyboard could very likely have inspired the young Beethoven to hone his extraordinary pianistic skill even further; as from the fateful Viennese duel of 1798.

L. Timofeyeva is a laureate of International competitions in Montreal and M. Long in Paris. Only a very mature musician can play F. Chopin’s Etudes, especially in a circle. Here L. Timofeyeva has brought out Chopin’s harmonious outlook and the wealth of light colors. Even rueful, tragic works have found their place in the gamut of feelings. Gentle lyricism – this is the main feature of L. Timofeyeva readings. Soft, winsome sound, heartfelt emotion, love of romantic, expressive melody – these features of the pianist’s gift have determined the interpretations of these works.
