Robert Sherman about «Music and Memories»

It\u2019s been in the works for nearly two years, so the Big News for 2020 is that Rom\u00e9o Records has released an extraordinary two-CD set of Clara Rockmore\u2019s \u201cMusic and Memories.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Here you\u2019ll find a treasury of never-before-released broadcast interviews, home recordings and performances recorded (in stereo) at her final concert appearance, greatly expanding her available theremin repertoire and providing in-person evidence of her joyful spirit.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ron Mannarino, founding-director of Rom\u00e9o, tells me that since the earlier\u00a0\u201cMusic In and On the Air\u201d<\/em>\u00a0album was released in 2011, excerpts (most especially Saint-Sa\u00ebns\u2019\u00a0\u201cThe Swan\u201d<\/em>) have been downloaded an incredible 1,700,000 times. Haven\u2019t done the math myself, but Ron assures me this works out to something between 3 and 5,000 streams a week.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

You can stream particular tracks from the new two-CD anthology as well, but it may be difficult to choose, say, between Clara\u2019s experimental double-tracked performance of two Glinka songs, and the entire Franck Sonata with (her celebrated sister) pianist Nadia Reisenberg<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Then there\u2019s Clara\u2019s demonstration of the theremin\u2019s capabilities for an astonished John Corigliano, and her exuberant memories of Vilna (now Vilnius) shared with Alexander Schneider, in the course of which we learn that Clara sang Kurt Weill in French, and the famed violinist-conductor explains why he\u2019s not really Alexander or Schneider. There\u2019s more too, Clara on the telephone with radio host David Garland, at WQXR with the inventor of her instrument, Lev Sergeyevich Termen (a.k.a. Leon Theremin), and giving her final public performances at Merkin Hall.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

You can download tracks at Spotify, YouTube and other websites.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n
