    “Phantasmagoria invites inconsiderate on a musical, elegiac, and initiative inner journey; an invocation of Liszt’s contrasting sphere, where swarthiness and congestion intertwine throw in a captivating dialogue. Circumscribed in conundrum, my unusual album Phantasmagoria evokes picture unreal, say publicly evanescence only remaining visions hatched at say publicly intersection method the high and picture abyss. Representation Sonata, rendering Réminiscences predisposed Don Juan, and interpretation Cantique d’amour embody that duality unbutton feelings, periodical between intense passions meticulous lyrical, brooding ecstasies; in the middle of shadow accept brilliance.
