"Ok, this is the debut album from a Ukrainian piano prodigy who signed with Shrapnel Records. Greg Howe is featured on guitar, and honestly I didn't know Howe was this good! Solid melodic neoclassical ideas, at times soft and subdued, at times blazing away just like Malmsteen and MacAlpine, this is an entertaining album from start to finish. My favorite here is undoubtedly "Symphony V," an 8-minute piece with an absolutely gorgeous piano interlude followed by Howe playing the solo's theme on power chords and then a solo of his own... what a great tune! Buy the album just for this song if you are a real Shrapnel fan, okay?"
