Quartet Decostruttori Postmodernisti pays theremin tribute to operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti, on the 10th anniversary of his death:
Being Italian, it is our precise and hugely pleasant duty to honor those Italians who were able to make the world a better place by creating immortal artworks and unforgettable emotions. Among those there is the biggest of the big, Luciano Pavarotti, that we want to celebrate – 10 years after his untimely passing – with a video as irreverent as full of love for a man that keeps sending chills down the spines of us Opera enthusiasts.
Siamo italiani e non possiamo (né vogliamo) esimerci dall’omaggiare chi dei nostri connazionali ha regalato al mondo opere immortali ed emozioni straordinarie. Tra questi c’è il grande tra i grandi, Luciano Pavarotti, che a 10 anni dalla scomparsa celebriamo con un video tanto irriverente quanto pregno d’amore nei confronti di chi per sempre farà scorrere brividi lungo le schiene di noi appassionati d’Opera.
Arranged for piano, violin, cello and a theremin by Massimo Cervini.

The Theremin is Devil in a box and damned difficult to play well.
Well done.
