Lost, but still priceless, Mar 2 2007
By Erik Strommen - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Clara Rockmore's Lost Theremin Album (Audio CD)
Although Clara Rockmore is universally acclaimed as one of the best musicians of her era, very few of her performances were ever recorded. An aspiring violinist, she took up the strange and wonderful Theremin when physical problems forced her to give up the violin. She invented a method for playing the radical new instrument, and her classical concerts gave the instrument respectability.In keeping with her style, all the material on this CD is classical in nature, often somber or serious in tone. And while these recordings were made long after her heyday, the performances are still top rate examples of Theremin playing and her discipline and passion for the material is clearly undiminished by time.
Her few earlier recordings had long been an inspiration to several generations of Thereminists. This set of recordings enlarges the available corpus of her work tremendously. Let us hope it inspires as many new musicians as the first round!

Amazing Album, Mar 22 2007
By R. M Sabbagh - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Clara Rockmore's Lost Theremin Album (Audio CD)
I've got a couple of Clara's other CD's and this one is just stellar. There are two standouts - Estrellita and Summertime that show the incredible artistry of both Clara and her equally talented sister Nadia Reisenberg in something other than classical music. I wish more people would discover Clara and Nadia's work - they're both under appreciated if you ask my humble but accurate opinion (LOL).The booklet that comes along with the CD is quite funny and very loving as it's written by Clara's nephew/Nadia's son who brought this gem to life.
This is definitely a CD to add to the collection.

Haunting, May 6 2008

This review is from: Clara Rockmore's Lost Theremin Album (Audio CD)
I also bought this CD after Rockmore's "Art of the Theremin." Different from its use in science fiction movies, here, the theremin sounds plaintive and-- it's hard to resist-- haunting, like a combination of a woman's voice, a musical saw, and a violin. Different from other reviewers who find the theremin boring, I enjoy the contrast between the theremin and acoustic instruments of the accompanying orchestra and piano. I especially like "Midnight Bells" ("Gehen wir ins chambre séparée" from Heuberger's operetta, "Der Opernball"), a waltz duet recorded solo by sopranos including Beverly Sills.
Listmania!
