about

WHOOOOHOOOO, spooky sounds and ghostly wailings are usually what come to mind when people imagine the sound of the theremin. With “Air Électrique”, Thorwald Jørgensen and Kamilla Bystrova go beyond the novelty of the theremin and in the tradition of the great theremin virtuosa Clara Rockmore and her sister pianist Nadia Reisenberg, let the music speak for itself!
With the premier recording of Lera Auerbach’s “10 Preludes for theremin and pi- ano”, the standard of the album is set. This compositional tour-de-force presents colourful melodic music which exploits the unique characteristics of both the theremin and the piano.
The angular modernism of Lydia Kavina’s “Suite for theremin and piano” and Olesya Rostovskaya’s haunting “Juliet” show more of the theremin’s unrivalled sonic possibilities, clearly illustrating what is possible with this combination of instruments.
In Joseph Schillinger’s “Bury, bury me wind” composed in 1930 and recorded here for the first time, Thorwald and Kamilla are joined by mezzo soprano, Itzel Medecigo. The spectacular “Fantasy for theremin, xylophone and piano” by Valery Beluntsov, features Thorwald not only playing the theremin but also the virtuosic xylophone part.
All in all “Air Électrique” is an album for both lovers of the theremin, piano, and music in general!
