*What the critics said of the Lincoln Center concert:*
"The program also included pieces derived from two film scores in which 
the theremin is prominent, Miklos Rozsa's haunting "Spellbound" Concerto 
(1945-6) and Howard Shore's entertainingly derivative "Ed Wood" Suite 
(2000). In these, and the Neuwirth, Ms. Kavina was supported by the 
Ensemble Sospeso's beautifully played performances, conducted by Charles 
Peltz."
---Allan Kozinn, The New York Times, July 21, 2000

"Bahläams Fest"...treated the theremin as an ensemble member, aptly 
combining it with strings, electric guitar, soprano saxophones and 
water-filled glass to reveal hitherto unsuspected possibilities for the 
instrument's stereotypically eerie voice. Pianist Stephen Gosling and 
the Ensemble Sospeso under Charles Peltz were her deft partners in the 
all-theremin program."
---Barbara Jepson, The Wall Street Journal, July 26, 2000
