I'd never thought about how this was done. Almost every time I see a theremin played, it's for a reverb/delay-heavy freakout solo.

Now I see that their sensitivity can be tuned! And you can either quantize them for easy scales or do it “fretless” for maximally expressive singing. Neat.

Her orchestral performances are beautiful. See Ocean Light for Theremin and Orchestra with the Berlin DSO. I love the bass range she can pull down to (at 1:41)
