Alma's violin concerto is absolute genius and bliss. May she blossom into her realm of magnificence for years to come !☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
IMO This is the piece that really put her on the map; and still her crowning achievement. This is the piece that demanded the world take her seriously.
Something for a Q andA soon, howe do you compose your work for symphonies without a special app?
Amazing
imagine sitting in this orchestra an accompanying a 12 year old girl playing her own concerto
An honor. I would be humble.
And she plays her instrument better than you.
You can tell she genuinely loves it and is jus living her best life 💖
But yes soul crushing is the phrase
They're thrilled. It's the closest they'll ever get to playing with Mozart.
Might as well burn my violin tbh
The best thing about watching Alma play is that you can see a composer enjoying her own composition, in bliss.
Leilani Lu came here to say exactly this. Her music takes my breath away but to see her enjoy it... HEAVEN!
Its true
Yes she does enjoy it. You can see her eyes rollowing back. You can literally see her excitement and her body language. I am not an expert but I can say she writes and plays music by the pure love of it...
Exactly, music just flows through her. I think of her skipping rope every time. Just a playful little girl who is anything but little when she composes.
Not to forget her violin technics and skills. It is not an easy piecy lemen squeeze.
I'm 83yrs young, and I'm so glad to be still here, to be able to see and hear this beautiful child.......Stunning .....
I totally agree with you.
Well, I'm 85 yrs OLD, and I'm also glad to be still here! This music style may be old, but it's more refreshing than some of the "contemporary" and dissonant trash that's out there.
97 here :)
I'm the same age and I agree with you! Alma IS music! Her piano and violin Concerti are remarkable. They are simple for her age, and yet complicated enough to make an accomplished older pianist or violinist work very hard to rehearse! Since music is beauty to her, her music IS beautiful!
A true gift !
One day at school one of my friends said to me “There are no living classical composers today.”
I responded with “Alma Deutscher”
He then replied “that’s not a real classical composer.”
To this day I don’t know what was going through his mind, and I don’t even know if he had even ever heard the name or listened to her beautiful music before.
I don’t know why but whenever a non musician trashes classical music with something stupid, like saying nobody listens to it anymore, they persist to say that they’re right even provided with proof. I honestly feel bad for these people because they don’t put in the effort into trying to enjoy the beauty of classical music and geniuses like Alma Deutscher.
Well at least there are many older people, some who are musicians, but most, ordinary folk who love classical music and who wholeheartedly agree with your estimation. Our sympathy to your sad friend and hope he recovers soon.
This is my first time listening to a classical composer that is still alive and I’m am really amazed at what I see. I was thinking it would sound very sweet, like Elgar or Britten, or energetic like Kabalevsky, but I’m really shock to hear influences from Bach as well as a little Romantic influence(it definitely doesn’t sound classical period to me).
@@TheAsianTree listen to
Max Richter ,Hans Zimmer and Olafur Arnold's.All a great all are modern
As Alma once said in an interview, people don‘t take her seriously because she’s not a dead old man with a beard
It sounds like your friend is a CHAV. I think their mental state is probably incurable! Don’t waste your time on them. Hopefully you’ll focus on the things you love in life and come into contact with more people who are on your wavelength and appreciate life on a deeper level.
It's nice to see a violin concerto written after 1920 that doesn't sound like Schoenberg is having a seizure in my ears.
lel
HaHa .. When Alma plays her music only Beautiful Seizures for the listener!
So much modern "classical" music reminds me of the Empire's New Cloths, nonexistent musically and totally tuneless, worse than white noise, if most modern "classical" composers have day job my advice is don't give it up .... Not so with Alma.......
There's also Leo Purich
Agree! So refreshing. . . and vital!
I am bewitched; astounded; changed forever. If you have not heard the name Alma Deutscher, remember that in 100 years she will be among the musical monoliths of our time and all will know the name Deutscher. At 11, having already composed of full-length opera, a piano and violin Concerto, and many other brilliant works of music. We are witnessing history in the making. A prodigious talent such as this comes along once a century if we are lucky, and she has only 65K subscribers?!?! Less than some beauty gurus?!?! Shameful! How have I not heard of her until just a few days ago. I have no words...words fail. At a time plagued by ugliness, hopelessness, and so much cynicism, I have to believe that "God," the universe, or whatever greater power there may be, smiles on us. We've been bestowed this great gift. Now let us deserve it.
“What are you learning right now?”
“Oh me? I’m doing Deutscher!”
+. @@laura8700
Above all, the world's music lovers should thank you tube for letting us even know she exists, let alone hear and watch her.
@@jessicayang2172 Magnifique!!
YES! "Let us deserve it." So well said.
So well said! She is astounding and her music helps me to remember that God exists in such a world full of pain.
Her music brings tears of joy😙😊
I believe that Alma is a modern day Mozart or Beethoven and we are witnessing her development with our own eyes through the internet. What a fantastic time to be alive! Congratulations Alma! Your music is of the standard of the great masters of 250 years ago. Truly brilliant!
THE GIRL IS Amasing!My heart is melting when I see and listen her.
You nailed it. She’s a true genius, and even more so a channeler of the music of angels !
Was “development” supposed to be a pun because if it was, it was genius.
But I have to say she is not like Mozart or Beethoven at all … she is gloriously herself
*Please listen to her Siren sounds Waltz!! IT'S THE MOST INCREDIBLE MUSIC I'VE HEARD!*
It is!!
So well written and realistic
It’s so amazing
I agree. She excels as a composer and as a musician. She truly is a musical genius. And she is just starting her musical trajectory!
such an amazing comment!^^
You know, just looking at her face as she listens to the orchestra I get the distinct feeling she hears something other than what I hear. It's like she is envisioning patterns and I just hear music.
I strongly believe - as has been said by others too - that it's possible to understand Alma's music by not only watching her hands, but also by watching her face, as her expressions somehow tell more about her compositions than those of many other violinists or pianists. One certainly gets the impression that when she plays, Alma is doing far more than concentrate on playing the right notes, and judging by the sheer joy on her face when she plays, those patterns you mention must be mightily beautiful.
Beautifully described! Agree!!
She is definitely hearing something the rest of us can't imagine.
Well, first of all, Alma, like a lot of musical whizzes, including Mozart, has clearly got "perfect pitch" which is something very few humans have (it has been guesstimated 0.01%) and is a different kind of audio perception. Some of them, e.g. allegedly Richard Wagner (I have no idea whether Alma is one of them) have had "synesthesia" which is even weirder. It is somewhat puzzling how somebody with different audio perception, can write music that sounds good to the rest of us. I think that (and, e.g. deaf Beethoven still writing good music) proves it is not about the perception, it is about universal mental musical principles. When she talks, she sounds a bit oddly prissy and precise, which might be related to her perfect pitch, or might merely be somehow related to her being tri-lingual. Far as I can tell, she's got the same level of talent as Mozart, plus has the advantages of living in the modern era, so she ought to be able to rise to greater levels.
I think she sees the music and the story behind
My one complaint about Alma is that we don’t see enough of her.
Sadly, i share that assessment, why else would someone so talented, so young, so popular and loved, be so shabberly treated by her homeland ?? but then , we are so good at overlooking our best people.
I don't live in the UK so I rely completely on youtube!! I absolutely share your complaint haha
The BBC only plays/performs young composers music if it is modern/avant-garde and sounds horrible, nothing like this masterpiece is ever played on the BBC. It’s awful in my opinion
I would suggest let her enjoy being a kid... she has exceeded what many have done in a whole lifetime.
myexitolaboral , and others. I don’t live in the UK and those issues are not what I was talking about. I can’t help but believe that every time Alma performs, someone is recording it. What I wish is that something like Medici or VEVO had access to those recording and could share them sooner (this recording is a year old already) and more often. I don’t know what the strategy is, and whether it concerns monetizing her performances, or if there is some other reason. I just would like to be able to enjoy her talent. As for Alma just being able to enjoy being a kid, I think you need to go back and watch her from the beginning. She clearly enjoys what she is doing, and it is to her parents credit that they have worked hard to let her be who she is, and any way you look at it she is not average, and to not acknowledge that would be a travesty to her talent and her spoken desires.
If I were a ballet dancer I would choreograph an epic ballet to this music.
If I were a radio host I would play her music on a repeat cycle.
If I were a bird I would chirp her music every morning as the day breaks.
If I were a dolphin I would jump out of the ocean and kiss her on the cheek.
If I were a billboard I would paste a pic of her sublime face all across my canvas.
If I were her friend I would bring her a gift every afternoon at four.
If I were a violin I would be tickled pink to have her music flow through me.
If I were an invalid I would rise to my feet and run across the stage to sit at her feet.
If I were the embodiment of gratitude I would pour forth a lyrical Vielen Dank.
If I were a heart I would set a world record for beating too fast.
I’m a fan
Lovely evocations of expressed emotions, a reaction to rare glimpses of the beauty which can be nurtured in Humans in the right environment. In a World characterised by selfishness and competition Alma stands out as a loving and generous soul. As Humans were originally in the image of God she too brings forth beautiful creations.
I hope everyone is enjoying this. Masters like this only come around every couple of hundred years...such emotional depth, talent and integrity. Really is awesome 👌
Masters like this are actually born very often. Sadly, in 99 percent of cases kids never had a chance to grow into such a pro... All ingredients for such an extraordinary outcome have to be nurtured since the earliest childhood. It's mainly for parents, and their direct parental supervision, plus immediate positive environment, that produce such result. Very often parents of such kids are musicians themselves, or they are intellectuals in other areas to a very high degree and standards. If they are not professional musicians themselves, than such talent must be recognized by a local teacher-Master, that nurtures such kid into what Alma became. Combination of elements... And of course ; no video games 🙂
Finally, in XXI century, someone is composing music you can listen to and simply enjoy the beauty of harmonies, and I bet it's really enjoyable for the musicians to play as well. It's amazing that Alma is so young and yet she's already so accomplished. Great talent. All the best, Alma, keep composing and have fun with it.
Actually, there was one true classical composer in the XXI century, but he remained almost unknown, maybe because he was from the Philippines, namely Nicanor Abelardo. Just listen to his piano concerto. It's exhilarating! th-cam.com/video/NEmkTs12Sdg/w-d-xo.html
@@marianmatei1138 correction: abelardo lived and died in the early 20th century, so he's not a 21st century composer. will definitely admit though, his concerto and kundiman pieces are amazing, and its a shame he isn't so well known
In his grave Salieri's like WTF?! Another one?!?
This is AMAZING.
@Marianne some composer that got his reputation ruined due to a historically inaccurate film
@@salvat3735 Though it was that portrayal in Amadeus that led to a revival of his music, which probably wouldn't have happened if he had been portrayed as a less envious rival composer.
I was thinking the same thing :D
@@salvat3735 It wasn't Forman, actually, it Wash Pushkin who started this. Or even Konstanza with her second husband. And later this myth was simply perfect for picturing eternal fight between divine and mortal. I love it and I hate it at the same time :)
😀😀😀
Thank you Alma lots of us grew up when classical music was the norm in elementary school music presentation you return we remember Thank you
Classical music is coming alive in this century thanks to this beautiful girl's beautiful inner world of music and melodies.
REAL music. :)
I think what I admire most about her is that She s always smiling. And she always seems happy. It's so refreshing, and so genuine.
SHE'S MIRACLE YOUNG 12 YEARS OLD LADY'S GORGEOUS WITH ALWAYS BIG SMILES ON HER FACE I ADORE HER TALENT IS NOTHING LIKE IT. GOD'S BLESS HER AND HER FAMILY'S. AND I ALWAYS REMEMBER WATCHING HER WHEN SHE WAS 8 YEARS OLD AND INTERVIEW BY ARIC ONE OF THE BEST CONDUCTOR IN THE WORLD
A concerto has three movements; and thereso, from me, three comments.
This little girl puts those professional musicians, as good as they are, to shame.
She is not the "next Mozart"; she is the First Alma.
And, this will go down in history.
After reading about long-dead composers and hearing their music that they bequethed us, it is wonderful to see and hear a current, living composer actually playing her works. To be alive at such a time is a great honor!
No words can describe that girl. I've been a musician all my life and love classical music. Alma just makes me smile every time, that is when I am not crying over the beauty I hear.
Yeah! I know the feeling. I am laughing like an idiot, bursting with pride, when the crowd brake the rule by applauding her after every movement. The rest of the time I'm to busy crying of pure joy and happiness.
When I listened to this for the second time (many months ago now) I was struck by how one particular slow passage in the first movement reminded me strongly of a similar passage in one of the many other violin works of which I have recordings. But I couldn't decide which recording it was. Over the succeeding weeks, I played those other works, searching for the similar passage. And couldn't find it ! Eventually, I was forced to conclude that the memory Alma's work had evoked, on that second listening, was of my FIRST hearing of her concerto. Which raised two interesting thoughts. First, that Alma's music had already seeped into my brain, subliminally, and secondly, that I felt it completely natural to place Alma's music on a par with 'classical' composers of the past. Something I am very happy to continue to do.
Same
don corbly
I never tire of listening to Alma's beautiful music. It is pleasantly soothing for an old 85-year-old man who loves good music that is largely missing these days. Alma is creating for us music that will remain long after today's' unpleasant turmoil and decadence hopefully ceases.
The universe is a mysterious place. And I hope it remains that way. I don't ever want to fully understand how this is possible. I don't ever want to lose that sense of awe and wonder that she evokes...
This girl is a miracle! I heard her playing her piano concerto as well and am pretty sure she has a divine talent. It is good that the Universe still sends us something true and immortal! Thank you.
This girl is a miracle in itself, beyond our comprehension...
I am truly left without words. I can only be glad to be alive at the same time as this amazing young lady.
The way she nods her head to the music when she's not playing...... be still my heart!!! She is so wonderful!!
This video should be viral just to see such a young girl playing violin with that level of mastery… but to throw in the fact that she also composed the music? Wow. Just, wow.
Her talent is scary. I now feel what people centuries ago who met Mozart and Beethoven felt like.
This is WAY more than talent. It is a gift!
@@pickngrin73 It's a mix of both.
Guys you must remember that she worked hard too
@@me3251 True. There is a lot of innate ability, whatever you want to call it, bit she has had to turn potential into reality, and then exercise that reality into skill.
Crazy!!
A day without listening to Alma is a lost day to me.
I know exactly what you mean. Ditto.
This is a work of highest caliber...the level of inventiveness is off the charts.
Watching and listening for the very first time...I'm blown away...to say she's a prodigy is a huge understatement...
Let's not overlook that in addition to the playing and the writing for violin, Alma also had to compose the orchestration.
April 14, 2023 is the day I found out who Alma Deutscher is. I happened across a TikTok video someone posted of her when she was really young and I was impressed enough that I decided to do a google search to see what was known about her. MY. MIND. IS. BLOWN. It's absolutely remarkable and so heartening to know that such talent is still walking around on our planet among a generation that values fake dancing on short-form videos for clout. I'm not much into hyperbole but I really can't believe what I'm seeing/hearing and this will be a day I remember the rest of my life. Alma, you are a revelation.
Your life just got better since Alma has been prolific in composing, performing on violin and piano and now, conducting!
The way to tell if a piece of music is good or not, can you listen to it over and over. Alma runs a melodic line through each movement that keeps you engaged, and makes it very easy to listen to.
Alma's composition is such a pleasure to listen to.
As a violinist myself I'm blown away by her own virtuosity. Her impeccable technique, articulation, and dynamics. She makes her violin sing with a beautiful Yiddish soul fulness. I also love the motif nods to other classical composers. Her style of playing at times reminds me of Heifetz, Menuhin, and Perlman.
As a Jew who sings in a synagogue choir, I'm right there with you on the Yiddishkeit. She probably gets it from her father's side of the family and has also spent plenty of time in Israel possibly hearing popular songs that subconsciously have imported the Ashkenazi soul.
When this COVID stuff is over and we can travel again, I want to go to one of her concerts to hear her music.
@Pip rose If you live in the New Jersey, USA area, you can attend one of her concerts next May (2021) with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra at either Red Bank or Newark. www.njsymphony.org/events/detail/alma-deutscher-debuts-with-the-njso
She is truly living her dreams. You can see the music flow through her. Amazing.
That is about the most enjoyable violin concerto I think I have ever heard in my life.
Alma is a old soul of the women musicians that went before her and never received the recognition they deserved. She has playing skills far beyond her age. Especially in the third movement.
IMO the other two movements are also something really special.
Beautiful melodies like early 19th century romantics. No sign of ugly, meaningless modern music. Just lovely.
I fully agree.
Not all more modern music is ugly. Composers like Prokofjev or Shostakovich composed great music. The concertos by Prokofjev are masterpieces. Of course he did not write them at age 12.
This concerto is beautiful beyond words! Unbelievable talent in this young girl. Bravo to her parents for nurturing her talent and sharing their precious, brilliant daughter with the world.
AMAZING!!! Virtuoso on not one but 2 instruments!!Brilliant, critically acclaimed Composer, and the ORCHESTRATION!! Being able to write coherent music for all those different instruments, the technical knowledge required beyond the creative aspects is astonishing for anyone, let alone for someone of her age.
This concerto is simply beautiful. Alma is a true a genius. This concerto show many influences of Brahms and Mendelssohn. For me this girl is without doubt the great composer of the last 100 years.
A true genius Now I am going to play her compositions to my 12 month boy in his musical education
Thank You Alma
My grandchildren will probably learn about Alma in school.
Unbelievable. Brilliant. Absolutely stunning.
The first time I've witnessed true genius in my lifetime!
I would comment on this, but there are no words worthy of it!
I just saw you conduct the final performance of your Opera "Cinderella" in San Jose yesterday November 27, 2022 and it was marvelous! This performance of the Violin Concerto is a revelation--to actually see and hear a person play her own composition so beautifully makes me feel like happy and grateful. Thank you, Alma! Please give us more music!
ALMA!!! 💕❤.....one on the wonders of the world 🌎
My soul is smiling, overjoyed to hear a virtuoso violinist equally a brilliant composer who is so young. Alma sets a standard for what a person completely clear of trauma may create and is the highest possible aspiration for all of humanity.
Incredible brilliant magical young woman.
Enormous love and praise to Alma's accomplishments ! The orchestra themselves did amazing in this performance as well! Absolutely astonishing to listen to!
This young lady IS a genius. To compose and arrange true classical music as opposed to the clash of discords called modern classical is a breath of fresh air. Not only that, but to play the piano and violin to the highest standard at her tender age is amazing.
This is a breathtakingly brilliant composition! It is exhilarating to listen to such exquisite music! Congratulations, Alma! You are a joy-bringing genius!
The fact that she’s young and a girl needs to be forgotten. She’s an amazing composer. Period.
And musician!
I very much appreciate that whole orchestra seemed in good spirits, and in to this composition. I can just imagine Alma driving them crazy with her sharp ears during rehearsals, though in very good nature.
Beyond her young age, I'm so grateful that there's finally new 'old' classical music. One that is not a challenge to the ears, but something that you can hear and actually enjoy! As Alma herself said in some interviews, the most important thing about music is that it should be fun to listen to. Well done Alma, and I can't wait for your next concertos and compositions. Now, clicking the play on this wonderful concerto for the 10000th time :-)
And now, next month, [Nov. 2022] she is taking the baton for CINDERELLA in San Jose. I wonder whether Helen will play her musical parts.
Thank God for such a gift to the whole world. Another genius. thank God.
We are the witness of something that will be remembered for thousands of years.
Alma Deutscher, amazing.
Alma's music has delightfully become part of my soundtrack while working from home. Thank you, Alma, for brightening my day.
Brilliant! Classical music will always exist, contrary to modern music that is written for the present and forgotten tomorrow. Well done and thank you Alma Deutscher!
amen!
Oh my goodness.
Alma is living proof that God exists. When I listen to her I feel Jesus squeezing my heart so tightly I can hardly breathe.
I am honored and all at once elevated to a higher plane since I discovered her by sheer accident.
I’m a fan on steroids. 😊
Thank you to her parents for encouraging and cultivating her gift.
I love how her Dad said it was blood curdling to see her composing at age four.
Thank you Alma for changing my life forever.
I love love love you.
Alma is living proof that beauty exists, nothing to do with God let alone with Jesus imo morer with a set of wonderful and intelligent parents
There are a lot of gifted musicians, but gifted composers, not so many! The second movement really "sings" for me. Wonderful!
One of the real touchstones of how genuine is her genius is that she also excels in the slow movements. Typical children, meaning even muscially gifted kids, just don't get into the slow movements; they're "boring". Not so with this off-the-chart prodigy: in both this concerto, and her piano concerto, the middle movements are nothing short of masterpieces.
Imagine what kind of music this girl will make when she is an adult. As a child she is already beyond genius.
from 6:12 to 7:04 is absolutely thrilling, how she works w/the brass, and then the fuge with the strings after, just wonderful wonderful...the whole concerto....
This is just too amazing for words, the composing, arranging and performing. She's fantastic.
I would like to be able to give this one thousand thumbs up. Absolutely fantastic. Bravo.
Brava.
When you roll a 10 on charisma, intelligence, and talent right off the bat:
With a bonus
the way it slows down just before the fugue, and the transition into the fugue are just marvellous. and then the end of the fugue is almost jazzy, while the violin solo part that follows reminds me of Pirate Jenny from Kurt Weil for a sec..."and the ship, the black sailor..."
I am amazed, humbled, clueless as to how she got so good at it at such a young age.
She hears it, orchestrated, in her mind.
Thank you for soothing my soul. At some parts I cried, at others i smiled, and i couldn't help but sway and enjoy your beautiful music. Thank you so much.
This is from a recovering addict. It's amazing all the people you can reach.
Everyone, rejoice! We can now finally enjoy the full concerto!
I think one of the most delightful things to watch is how Alma is obviously basking in her work while the orchestra plays her composition. What an amazing girl. I'm watching how she grows into this world of music that she was so obviously borne from.
I still to this day can't believe Austrian arts let you touch and play Mozarts Violin over 500 years old, you really impressed them, you can bet they'd never let Charlie Daniels touch it to play his bluegrass rock a billy, that violin would be toast by the time he got done, the bow would go first.
And then someone loaned Alma a Stradivarius which she played at Carnegie Hall. Yes, highly rated.
Very interesting concert
Good luck for the future.
She is such an amazing gift for all of us who love her music. I can't even imagine how proud her parents and family are of her. Thank you Alma for sharing your gift with the world.
That second music is sublime! Thank you for a wonderful composition and performance.
As I listen to Alma it is hard to comprehend that one so young plays violin with such passion! She seems in total control of every note from every instrument around her and she loves pleasing her audience which you see in her facial expressions and her smiles at the performance end! Alma makes classical music fun, entertaining and brings one to a happier place if only for a short time but leaves you craving for more! Bravo, Alma!
I love how Alma becomes the entire performance and lives every single moment in total bliss. This is not "just a performance", this is a person who is in total immersion of the moment.
Alma has awoken my lost desire to listen to and play music. I am so appreciative for this.
Eezee Listen ..I hardly ever listen to classical music but I can listen to everything Alma does and plays and I do.
Ich würde es am liebsten auch eines Tages als Solist spielen 🥰
After complaining that nobody composes in our time so beautifully like the big composers of the past, I ran into Alma's music only today by chance. Alma is so talented, and still very humble and acting, dressing and looking like a very normal child. Congratulations to the parents for raising her in such way. And she must thank God for such rare talent! She composes such good music for the soul! I would love to hear her live one day.
It's my hope that Alma Deutscher's wonderful music inspires other young composers to create beautiful harnonic, melodic music for us all to enjoy.
Beautiful, simply beautiful. You can see the enjoyment in her face as she listens with eyes closed. She has become one of my top 5 favorites. 😊
She brings tears of joy to my ears (not a typo!) amidst deep feelings of appreciation. She really moves my soul.
Fantastic
Notice how when Alma plays the cadenza of the first movement (at 12:22) that she is totally relaxed, letting the orchestra complete the cadence just before the cadenza and then, after a second of pause, very confidently yet very comfortably raising the bow to the violin to begin performing the cadenza. She is an amazing natural: great composer, performer, and just plain great artist.
The world needs more of Alma and her wonderful music!
En t'écoutant, nous avons tous l'impression d'écouter une page d'histoire... les prodiges restent dans les livres. Je me sens privilégiée de vivre un moment comme celui là.. C'est magnifique, d'écrire, jouer , entendre sa musique... quel plaisir de t'écouter....Merci Alma..
A huge talent in “the olden style, like Resphigi, Prokofiev and many others of that ilk. A consummate platform, And a rather warm mature style of playing, with very little to criticise especially for her age. She may not end up playing in the concert repertoire and trekking round the world like a slave, but she will play her concertos and chamber music to enthralled audiences in a different manner from the rather tired soloists were used to. extraordinary focus while at the same time entertaining the audience the orchestra and conductor, she stands out from the crowd at her extraordinary young age. GO GIRL !
Acute observation, "She may not end up playing in the concert repertoire and trekking round the world like a slave, but she will play her concertos and chamber music to enthralled audiences in a different manner from the rather tired soloists we're used to." I think it's stronger than that. The concert soloists are masters of their instuments, they play the music expertly. Deutscher is the other way round, the music plays her.
Beautiful!!! It’s like looking at one of the old masters (Mozart, Felix Mendelssohn etc.) only now. WOW! Piano, violin and composer at 12yo. Thank you God for this beautiful child. I will follow her career from now on.
This fills my heart with joy like none before. It is how true beauty sounds. A fresh piece of art. It's not Mozart or Beethoven. It's Alma. It's everything we need, but nothing we've deserved as cruel and Inhumane, as we've become to ourselves and nature.
She is part of a wave of children that hold keys for a brighter future. They are the hope. She’s brilliant ✨💜
I could listen to Alma for ever. I am completely entranced.
I can see this Konzert always again: the sound of Alma is perfect, pur fascination, touching my soul!
I didn't that she had also composed this work!
Astounding !
This is what music schools, with their dumb obsessions with "modern music" have criminally failed to give us: talented composers of beautiful music!
Her father said in an interview how incredibly difficult it was to find a composition teacher for Alma. It’s hardly ever mentioned, but she had lessons in composing from age 4 or 5 and more lessons in orchestration. Everybody is underestimating children’s creativity in terms of composing!
Since she's the first major composer born in the 21st century I'm happy to let her decide what 21st century should sound like!!
