Touch! Don't Touch!

Touch! Don’t Touch!

Contemporary Music for two theremin-players and the „Kammerensemble Neue Musik Berlin“

Lydia Kavina: Theremin, Barbara Buchholz: Theremin, Dirk Rothbrust: Percussion, Cosima Gerhard: Cello,
Heather O’ Donnell: Piano, Tobias Remke: Violin

New music for theremin - every piece a world premiere recording - is presented by Lydia Kavina, Barbara Buchholz and the Kammerensemble Neue Musik Berlin. Everything is possible within this music; there are no limits at all.

On “Touch! Don’t Touch!” Lydia Kavina and Barbara Buchholz pick up the thread of theremin history with new compositions. Eight German and Russian composers were commissioned to write pieces for two theremins and instrumental ensemble. They followed the maxim that there should be no limits to the sound; everything should be possible.
The result is this marvellous CD.
