Some words on this issue: CLARA ROCKMORE: “Theremin” (Delos – DEL-25437) (Record: Near Mint/ gatefold Jacket: Excellent ~ Near Mint). Original 1977 US pressing of this Theremin goddess. In 1975, electronic music pioneer Robert Moog realized a long-held dream at his own expense, to document in high quality recordings the artistry of his idol, Theremin virtuoso Clara Rockmore, who was getting on in years. The equivalent of at least two albums were recorded at Producers Recording Studio in New York with Rockmore, her aging instrument that Moog had just revived from a state of disrepair, and Rockmore's longtime accompanist (and sister) Nadia Reisenberg. This resulted in the Delos LP The Art of the Theremin, issued in 1976. While critics and fans of electronic music warmly received the album, it was hardly a blockbuster. Rockmore's playing of the Theremin, of course, is masterly -- girlish, like something between a violin and a human voice. Moreover, that was its tremendous significance; at a time when cynicism, and not a small amount of fear, was the average musician's take on the whole idea of electronic music, Rockmore proved that electronic technology could produce a result that was both musical and responsively human. As a representation of her gifts and overall contribution to music, Clara Rockmore's Theremin LP rocks like no other, just stunningly otherworldly spaced out electronic music of massive historical importance. Original pressing!!!
