2.0 out of 5 stars not really a theremin concerto, July 7, 2005

This review is from: Ionisation (Audio CD)

it's not really clear what this album what this album is supposed to be. I bought it because it claimed to be a theremin concerto. I found that it only had one theremin track on it and that it's mostly just standard orchestral fare. I think whoever put it together wanted to give an overview of concert music from that period in the early 20th century, at least that's what I gathered from the unfocused liner notes. it is interesting to hear the looseness of orchestras in those days but it is stunted, most pieces only a selected movement or two, a mix tape made by a not-so-lucid friend. If you're looking for a theremin concerto stay away!!
