The only two people on earth today who have mastered it are Grégoire Blanc and Katica Illényi, but I suspect that if the two of them were to meet in a theremin face-off, Katica would be declared the world champion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJfLZ4irf9qIY7c

This piece transcripted for theremin is something magical. I mean when you listen it at some moment you start to believe that it is a real human voice. You hold you breath with the music because the melody is pure beauty, triste, sad beauty, and then you start to realise that this 'voice' sings without taking breath, all this long-long phrases. Sublime!
