Free Music Notes for The Art Of The Theremin
Free Music Review: Superb Theremin Recording
Hit: 5 Stars
Clara Rockmore was, up until her death in 1998, the foremost theremin virtuosa living at that time. She was introduced to the theremin by its inventior, Leon Theremin (Russian: Lev Sergeyevich Termen). As a violinst, she recognised the great potential of the instrument. Setting the violin aside, she created an entire technique and approach to the instrument that was wholly unique. She showed that it was truly possible for it to be something other than a sound effect machine for Hollywood. By performing the classical repertoire upon it, she showed what was truly possible with this magical instrument.It is by far the most difficult instrument to play. The thereminist has absolutely no tactile references whatsoever. Absolutely perfect pitch is required. The sounds are created by moving one's hands nearer to or farther from the antennae, one to control pitch and the other to control volume and timbre. When one realised the difficulties of this instrument, her performance is made all the more remarkable. She shares with us her great artistry. It is a pity that not more recordings were made of her. Nevertheless, this recording is absolutely wonderful and to anyone who is interested in hearing classical music from a new vantage point, I would reccommend this recording without reserve.
