What a master of an extremely difficult instrument. The inventor of the instrument would be very proud to see it reach it's full potential.

A most human voice like sound, and its electronic. I love it! thank you Katica for this brilliant performance.

She waves her hands and music comes out... magic!

[NickRoman]

Star Trek (especially the movies) was such a great thing when I was a kid. I do love hearing this every once in a while.

Always bang on pitch with nothing to guide her other than her proprioceptive sense. Truly amazing.

[travisburgett]

This is the greatest thing ever!!!
As a Star Trek fan and a new theremin owner I can die now

[Sploooks]

Amazing performance on the theremin, it’s difficult and the way she performs is extremely precise

[Puppy_Puppington]

I love this so much. It’s so beautifully alien and so enchanting, mesmerizingly

[Dirk]

His is the perfect instrument for the Star Trek tune. Well done!

Here a min, theremin, everywhere a min min

[sky-of-mind]

What fun! I have so many fond memories around that piece, and it has never sounded better!

[gemmacasanova]

Ah, I can't get enough of this performance. A classy woman who looks like she's enjoying doing what she loves. Bravo, Katica!! The orchestra too is amazing.

[CategoricalImperative]

I have seen maybe 50 of the best theremin players in the world Katica is the best…. By far!

[cliveexton]

Totally brilliant! What incredible talent on such a difficult instrument.

[NanoNymus]

This raises wonderful memories. Great to see this theme played live, and IMO Katica is an absolute master of the Theremin...

[selket]

She never disappoints, she's my absolute favourite on the Theremin!

[EngPheniks]

the movement of hands made by a theremin player is so ASMR to me

[LokiStrikeArmy]

So awesome! Original Star Trek forever... And the use of the Theremin by
Katica Illényi
... Stellar... She has got to be one the greatest performers in the art of Theremin. I'm going to have a hard time getting that great drum beat out of my head. I've been a fan of this series since I was a little kid in the 80's... Thank you so much for creating and sharing this.

[CanadianSmoke]

That was the finest performance of a theremin I have even heard!

She made it sound human. Lovely performance.
