ummsbiaus ~ Enerhomor Suite No. 2, Op. 5
The war is not over. ummsbiaus emphasizes this point on Enerhomor Suite No. 2, Op. 5, a sequel of sorts to Enerhomor, released exactly one year earlier. The world tries to forget; the news media moves on; yet Ukraine continues

Gabríel Ólafs ~ Orchestral Works
Gabríel Ólafs may be only 25, but he’s been playing piano for twenty years. Over the past five years, he’s released albums for solo piano, piano and cello, and piano and small ensemble, but Orchestral Works ups the ante

Tomáš Šenkyřík ~ Waiting for a Song
