Music reviews of Lost Theremin Album
Music Review: If you don't appreciate this Theremin CD, just try to play one!
Rating: 5 Stars
I am a VERY amateur thereminist, and Rockmore's playing is EXCEPTIONAL, both as a thereminist and just as a musician period. From interviews and her method book, it is clear that she was adamant about the theremin being approached as a serious instrument, and not just a toy for making weird sounds. As this CD attests, she certainly succeeded in that.
My favorites on this disc are Estrellita and Humoresque, although all the pieces are played well. Rockmore musicality is beyond reproach and her technical playing superior to any other player I've heard (and there aren't many... Lydia Kavina is excellent, but she doesn't have the string-like musicality and bravado of Rockmore). Rockmore's playing testifies to her training as violinist.
The only limitation on the theremin in my opinion is the inability to vary the tone color. One of the most powerful expressive tools on many instruments (particularly voice and strings - which I feel are most similar to the theremin) is tone color. On a theremin the sound you hear is what you get... you can vary the volume and the intonation (through vibrato), but the sound itself is pretty static. Maybe one day a theremin will be designed that can respond to hand position or something to allow variations in timbre.
Either way, this is a great CD as a novelty, but also has lasting power due to Rockmore's musical and technical mastery.
ENJOY!
