His recording début occurred in 1999 with a solo lute album and the groundbreaking The Golden Age of the Russian Guitar, which has won high praise in America and abroad. He appears widely in concerts in the United States and Europe, and his valuable researches into music from Russia and the former Soviet Union have revealed to a wider public music of much interest. Oleg Timofeyev teaches guitar at Grinnell College, and offers seminars on Russian literature, culture, and film at the University of Iowa.

L’homme armé is one of the most popular French songs of the late Middle Ages. Celebrating physical strength and courage on the battlefield, it has inspired many composers, and became the most frequent cantus firmus in the Renaissance. It gave its name to this wonderful program of the Boston Camerata, highlighting musical depictions of battle scenes and lamentations over conflicts and persecutions, but also songs of hope for a pacified world.
