  • See the furnishings? Although I met her some twenty years later, and by then the piano had gone mute (a 1930 Steinway M, wedding gift of Nadia, seen here). NOTHING in that apartment had changed. That is her dear friend, Paul Robeson, in portrait behind her shoulder.

    The low cello register of a somber, but beautiful heart, of an instrument she, herself, designed.

    "I invented this sound; Professor Termin merely made the tone that I wanted, trial after trial, until, I knew, 'that's it!'."

  • Today I bougth a theremin...

  • @bluebeardit I wish I could say the same.. First time I heard it I thought I MUST have.. Are they expensive?

  • cool, but somehow creepy

  • Johann Mattheson (1681-1764) Aria, Doubles 1 & 2 from Suite n°5 in G minor for harpsichord

  • Carmela,thank you for your intelligent comments.jk

  • @SuperJohnnykay

    Most instruments sound awful in the hands of the beginners :) Especially non-tempered ones...

    I've never heard anyone playing a theremin like Mrs Rockmore - her dynamics and expression are just unearthly, beyond the reach of any mortal...

  • @AudioCranium :Seems Prof Theremin and his good friend Clara had the skills however Sam Hoffman isnt bad . There are some competent players now,pete pringle-i like.But the instrument really does sound awful when you hear the beginners...ouch!!!

  • Seeing her flick her knuckle out almost instataneously is frightening to me, in a peculiar way which I cannot describe.

  • Nice interpretation from this great artist
