I've been following Alma on TH-cam since she was a little girl and am so happy to see her flourish into a conductor and a brilliant young woman. Her eyes are wide open and shining, she's so enthusiastic, it's a joy to see. I especially like her composition of "T'was the night before Christmas", check it out.
Alma, don’t let the critics get you down. Don’t let them convince you of any “need” for ugliness. Don’t let anyone try to use you for their political or social rubbish. Just stay pure and true to what you feel inside.
It’s breathtaking to see the Greats being channeled through this exceptional human. If you haven’t seen the 60 Minutes episode on then 12-year old Alma back in 2017, it is well worth looking it up!
What an incredibly academic mind this young woman has. Her intellectual qualities go far beyond her musical genius. Alma is such an inspiration to all young people no matter their aspirations in life. Even with her brain power, she has still had to buckle down and do the many hours of hard work mastering her virtuosity in violin and piano, just to give her incredible talents a platform. Alma is quite an exceptional young lady.
This young lady is something really special... I'm not sure we realise how enormously gifted she is. Very few musicians have achieved in their lifetimes what Alma has done in a few short years, and at her age. I'm very excited to see what she does in the years to come!
This is a lovely review of Alma’s journey in music, albeit skimming lightly through some of her accomplishments. 🩷🎶💞🎶 I love hearing Alma speak, her thoughts are dancing joyously, flitting here and there as something is noticed, yet always turning toward joy!
Who's criticize you or your work, really he/she cannot be capable to feel the music, and also the hard work to do such extraordinary music, 'cause what you've done or you're doing musically speaking it's obviously at the high level of understanding, composing and playing music! At your age, you're trully an great exemple for many of people, especially for many person that they call themselves musician. Many of us we can play a score, but a few of us could compose what you've compose. It needs patience, great desire to compose, a lot of music theory and history, and plenty of time from his life for composing, playing and conducting as you do. You are an powerfull example of an trully artist! I'm verry shure your musical creation will be greater. I wish you good luck in your musical career !🙏🙏🙏🙏
Shaking my head at the snobby boomers putting Alma down when she's exactly the kind of person this tired art form needs if it hopes for a revitalization. She's young, full of creativity, and an independent thinker. Unfortunateluy, I think is also why the classical music mainstream won't take Alma seriously. It seems much of the negative comments towards Alma revolve around her not following or disagreeing with the established traditions of the art. Yet, in my opinion, it is the slavish devotion to those traditions that is killing classical music. If an art form is to survive, it must be alive and able to innovate and grow with the times. Every classical concert or opera I've been to is just a sea of gray and white hair while I'm over here as a 20-something year old with a highly unusual taste for someone my age who isn't a pro musician or conservatory student. Whoever is in charge of these things is doing a terrible job of marketing to new audiences. I strongly disagree that it has anything to do with education or lack thereof because I don't believe that you need any kind of special knowledge (music theory, musicology, etc.) to enjoy classical music. I think this misconception is whar scares many people away.
Actually au contraire. Listening to Almas compositions they sound so boring and formulaic. Just a pound shop Mozart really. Zero originality but good at composition. Reminds me of the salieri/Mozart film clip 😂 Never going to be a scriabin medtner liszt chopin Schubert Schumann etc etc. Sad because she's a really nice innocent girl 😢
@@ciararespect4296 You can't state your personal taste as though it were a fact. I for one love Alma's compositions. Maybe you have some biases on your part?
Incredibly talented miraculously so, but right now her style seems to be quite traditional. I think she will have a great career ahead of her as her tastes develop. If younger people are stsying away from traditional operas and concert halls, they will eventually stay away from hers as well her performances as well, because she doesn’t seem to be offering anything particularly new or innovative stylistically. Also, can she play other composers’ works or only her own? how does she interpret Beethoven or Mozart or Tchaikovsky or Bach modern classical composers like Stravinsky or Penderecki? John Williams writes wonderful scores for movies, often borrowing themes outright from other composers’ works. I see that kind of future for her, at least. Competency and fame. But she’s very young still. Time will tell. PS, there will be no live classical music if people don’t start attending concerts and operas. Pay no attention to the hair color of the audience. Listen to the music.
@@handyvickers Amira just recently started study at Pretoria Muisc University where her first subject is Voice and her Second is Conducting(perhaps influenced by Alma or mr. Rieu perhaps, who knows).
Eu ligo o livro A Violinista de Auschwitz, é a estória de Alma Rosé a violinista e maestrina que morreu no campo de concentração, essa menina é a reencarnação dela🙏👏🏻
2:05 I can’t believe that there are men that think she is trying to be “too beautiful”. What do they want her ( or her music) to be? Uglier? Crazier? Hysterical? Angrier? More masculine? I really want to know.
Why is Alma Deutscher not the big star she should be given her talent? She likely is as gifted as Mozart. Then why? To me Alma is just a clone of the past. She does everything like they did 300 years ago. What would Mozart do with an electric guitar? What would he do with all the modern technology? I feel Alma is missing her time.
The lessons are already in place. Too many "modern" composers appear to think that composition is merely a mechanical exercise and lack that essential sweep of inspirational emotional uplift that previous generations produced in such abundance. I recall one post WW2 UK composer who had the impertinence to accuse fellow composer George Lloyd of being out of his time, as if uplifiting melodic style in music-writing could ever be dismissed in such a way. That perhaps exemplifies the basic failure in modern classical compositions - the inability to create melody that marks the truly memorable works.
How can you jugde two completely different genres against each other? A real music fan would find the beauty in both of them. And if you‘re anti pop music, at least accept, that Taylor Swift unlike most popstars writes her own songs. I‘m a rock guy after all, but I get the huge talent of both Alma and Taylor in their genre.
@@kaislivesoundchannel4706 no offense to taylor swift but her music doesnt come anywhere near this, and if you studied music theory and went deep into classical music you would understand. the structure, the orchestration, the melodies, the harmonies, the only thing i really find impressive about taylor swift is how she can be so calm infront of so many fans
@@karrotkake I hear you and yes, for excellence in classical music you have to study it, but how much does that say about the talent of a person ? What could Taylor Swift do, if she had studied music? It‘s just not realistic to compare those genres, that’s all I‘m saying. And being calm in front of so many people is not even that hard, blinded by the follow spots she can hardly see more than the front row, she would probably be more nervous in a small club on front of 200 people, where she can see everybody‘s face.
Even Mozart had his detractors and uglies who were envious of his music and talent. I not surprised that Alma also has to contend with such individuals. Shall we bet who is still talked about a few centuries from now? Alma or the uglies? My money is on Alma.
The wording in your title is not correct. Classical music, or maybe a more correct term, orchestral music, has always been accessible to young people, even long before the online, digital age. Any child can access any classical music piece on iTunes or Spotify anytime he or she wants in the same way they access Taylor Swift. So Alma is not making the music "more accessible" to younger people.
It's referring to the mental block, the intimidation factor, perhaps the fear of what is different and difficult that keeps young people from accessing the music, that she is helping to bridge with her manner and music.
Yes, it is referring to the rising trend of impatience (coupled with a lack of theoretical knowledge) in younger people who have no “immediate” connection to European culture or refined taste. Most people I know listen to pop music, which is part of a massive social engineering project designed to destroy patience and elevate the animalistic and ferocious sound to that of public esteem. Alma, whether you like her as a composer or not, is at least involved in the creation of listening music, which will only help to foster greater appreciation in the long run.
The sounds of the modern world are "ugly"? Since when? Her idea of beauty in music seems to be limited to 18th and early 19th century music, which is a style she doesn't deviate from at all. It's a very narrow minded approach.
This is what she is saying: "the ugly sounds of the modern World, like sirenes and car hooting" (and she is right with that, I think), so Alma is not saying that the modern World does not have beautiful sounds.
Be patient, we only have more or less juvenilia so far, her concept of what is beautiful will morph and mature and expand as she ages. She's spent much of the last few years writing 2 operas, so who knows what she will sound like now that she has come of age, as she takes on new and more varied projects. Her album of piano music, even though made up of childhood pieces and perhaps centered in the sound world of the first half of the 19th century, has contemporary flourishes and features, so that it sounds fresh, and is neo-Romantic rather than Romantic.
"No sign of a real talent". Wow.😮 If she is not talented who is talented? Einaudi or Richter, for example? Or those composers of ridiculous horrible but contemporary piano pieces, which seem to be a musical joke? Her writing May be oldfashioned for some people, but not talented? No way.
Please Read: "The Lexicon of Musical Invective". It may give some insight onto the perspective of how history views those who give blanket condemnations of young composers and their works.
@@SacredMusicatSt.Augustin-xq6iw yes I've read that book. Should I care? She composes rubbish, like most other contemporaries, which in turn makes her pretty suitable for the time.
She will not mature (and be humble) as a personality if everyone around hyping her constantly. She needs to have her very first big failures to really mature in life and lose his naivite.
Alma knew from a young age that she would be largely ignored and dismissed by the music establishment, but she instead resolutely followed her passion and the media noticed and thus she came to the attention of the public via the global internet just like countless other singers and musicians WW.
@@kudzem Maybe we can agree on something. Seeing evidence itself does not always inform accurately. Knowing about context, background, is like reading biographies of those who know or studied the individual. Essentially the reason Alma is well known and admired is her dedication and hard work, never resting on her talents alone. As she has had many interviews in the media, she repeatedly indicates she considers herself to be "on a mission".
Well, I guess she is still learning. I wonder what the orchestra thinks about it. We must not forget Alma is only 19 and I am very impressed by what she has achieved so far.

What i see and hear the most is the lively and free spirit that she is blessed with! What a wonderful artist!
She is absolutely adorable! Alma is a brilliant young woman and a fabulous musician. But, what I admire most about her is her total enthusiasm.
Alma, don’t let the critics get you down. Don’t let them convince you of any “need” for ugliness. Don’t let anyone try to use you for their political or social rubbish. Just stay pure and true to what you feel inside.
Can you name any of those supposed critics?
I always love to hear Alma speak. Her talent is indisputable, of course.

I've always loved Waltz of the Sirens! She played it at her Carnegie Hall debut, which I was fortunate to attend.
