by Clara Rockmore & Nadia Reisenberg

Theremin cover art

Produced by synthesizer pioneer Robert Moog, this landmark recording showcases the unmatched, virtuosic theremin playing of Clara Rockmore. Accompanied by her sister Nadia Reisenberg on piano, the duo flawlessly interprets the sweeping, emotional compositions of Sergei Rachmaninoff and other romantic masters. The album definitively legitimizes the early electronic instrument as a vehicle for profound, deeply expressive classical performance.
