Alma Deutscher - Sirenenklänge Walzer - ORF2 - 2021 

It's hard to believe how accomplished this young lady is at 16 (?). She composes, plays violin and piano, does all the orchestration, conduct, choreographs dances and herself dances beautifully, has a wonderful singing voice and is very intelligent, humble and growing into a beautiful woman.

Actually this is a shortened version of the "Siren Sounds Waltz." The original is actually a series of four waltzes. The complete work is about 15 minutes long. What was performed on this occasion was the introduction, the first waltz and the finale. You can see the unabridged version on RU-vid in her concert from Carnegie Hall with the Orchestra of St. Luke's. The Salzburg State Opera is currently featuring Alma's opera "Cinderella." They have also commissioned her to compose an opera especially for them which will probably be premiered in 2022. The Vienna State Opera has also performed a shortened version of "Cinderella" for children. Alma Deutscher is currently 16 yrs old.

I still can't get over this piece. That intro is just indescribable. It is just something to experience. It feels like a warm rush of heaven when it transitions from the noises to music.

I consider Alma Deutscher to be one of the most creative and brilliant artists today and for all time. At a very young age she has proven to be an incredible performer who has basically mastered both the violin and the piano to an astounding degree but her playing has a depth and maturity that is not present in most of the young prodigy virtuosos. She seems not to have an ego and just appears to be a very natural performer. Maybe the most incredible thing about Alma is her beautiful original works. Her composing and orchestrations are extraordinary and totally fresh and original. She has something to say that is powerful and always lyrical and everything of hers has a beauty and a natural musical appeal that is remarkable. I consider myself very fortunate to have heard her in performance at her Carnegie Hall debut concert. She is a wonderful talent in so many ways and I love her artistry. God Bless you, Alma and may you keep growing and creating into your 90s and beyond!!!

Just refund Alma again, but now directing and playing her own symphony. Many people say they get goosebumps when hearing exceptional music. I never do, I wish I did. Instead I get tears flowing suddenly. Such a beautiful piece. Thank you Alma. May the Good Lord keep blessing you. And may you always stay humble so you may soar higher and higher.

Wow, this is a masterpiece. I love how dissonant it begins and evolves. I would definitely look forward to her future pieces.

She is incredible. Answers dissonance with beauty. Conducts with the bow and leads with the violin. Innovative. Alma Deutscher.

Alma shows us a whole new world of music. She is brilliant.

Just came across beautiful uniquely talented Alma and being watching her RU-vid's. Alma and her sister truly precious gift to her family and to all of us. Very well brought up. Beautifully dressed too. Not showy. Very genuine and plays to us from a pure beautiful heart.

...she is growing up, nice to see her still playing with her compositions... Nice ! enjoyed, thanks for the upload

Alma you are like a beacon of light in this dreary world, thank you for your beautiful pieces of music. 🥰

Thank you, Alma! I have followed you since your first public appearances as a toddler (online) with your grandmother, and am so grateful for your contributions to music, youth and hope. Those who understand the development of true talent are with you, and in full appreciation of the amazing journey you are taking as a performer and composer. What a gift to my life, and the lives of so many. Keep listening, hearing and sharing!

Stunning. Awesome. Perfect poise. Thank you, Alma.

The long introduction is exactly the sort of thing Johann Strauss II did for his big waltzes - Alma has captured the idiom perfectly.

Beautiful. Such a happy vibe around all of her music.

Uncontrollable goosebumps...

The number of wonder children today is exponential. Violinists, pianists.... Alma possesses God-given gifts from pianist to violinist to conductor and finally ! composer. All in one person who is not even 20. Add to it, her unspoiled long-forgotten femininity, modesty, and graciousness make her a symbol of unblemished music, art, and beauty.

I thought this was a wonderful rendition especially the violin solos with nice little melodies and it was wonderfully conducted.

That is exquisite! What a beautiful performance, and Alma at the center. Her German is fluent by now. She is just 16.

This is an absolute gem, thanks for posting!

Thank you for posting, pa. This abridged version of the piece is very nice, and it is fun to see it played by Alma and the other young violonist. The whole "mise en scène' and photography is a little jewel.

Seems like Alma has been performing for years.....only sixteen ....and she has been Great to be alive to witness such a talent !! Growing up fast....but not too fast i hope .....💕❤

Breathtaking❤

She's as beautiful as her music!

this is amazing, she is so special

her music and performances always bring tears to my eyes; she's the most outstanding composer of our time and definitely another mozart (IMHO)

Oh my dear lord 😄 Alma is surely growing up, absolute Masterpiece and Im glad she is in front here I missed that in her premiere she is the Angel of "Classical" music 🎶 of the Future 🤗 "Alma the first" is already a Master just reached the Teens but already up there with the Greatest composers of past Centuries I can't think of anyone now living that can match her genius. Thanks🙏 alot for this beautiful upload from my Favorite composer of all times.🙂👍 ~ OneLove 🕊

Bravo Alma une composition impressionnante ,bravo !!!

Thanks, have been waiting for this performance 😊 This girl is amazing, she takes ugly sounds and make them beautiful👏 What I would love is to bring Alma and Angelina Jordan together. Alma with her classical background, always having melodies "popping out of her head". And then AJ, with her jazz-background, can sing and improvise these songs, accompanied by Alma. I think the result will be mind-blowing and something never heard before in music history. 😊

Wow, just beautiful !!! Masterpiece !!!

This is amazing

The only thing as magical as her anglic presence is her haunting music!!

Wonderful. This should have millions of views.

really great and amazing, Alma!Dont hear to many jealousies!!

Beautiful!

She speaks so well German now and nearly without accent 💖

Bravo Alma! In portuguese language "alma" is soul.

incredibly beautiful 💕

Excellent Alma!

amazing💐👏

just blowing my mind....

It’s a crime that this isn’t on Apple Music

Spectacular 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰Could you believe it the ideal only utterly from ambulance siren .

🥰🥰🥰❤😍

Alma is so exceptional people seem to forget she is a woman and only focus on her age. The very fact that she makes people forget about sexism goes to show how art can really bind together what we by custom tear appart.

💖😊💖

I need that on a vanilla record like now!!!

🌻🦋🌷🐦INFINITAS GRACIAS PRECIOSA ALMA por regalarnos tu amor y tu alegría hecha música!🌸🏵 Tu música es encantadora, simpática, alegre, espontánea, fresca, graciosa. juguetona y amorosa !🦋 TAL COMO ERES TÚ! ...eres como un ángel que ha venido del cielo a hacernos felices, y para ello nos relatas tus juegos y aventuras en el jardín del paraíso...y describes paisajes y colores preciosos de flores, avecillas, mariposas, y un cielo puro en el que vuelan golondrinas y ángeles por igual, y la melodía de tu voz preciosa, cantando a la vida tu preciosa manera de verla. TU MÚSICA ES AMOR, Y POR ESO, DE TODOS QUIENES TE ESCUCHAMOS, NO TE EXTRAÑES DE RECIBIR AMOR♥ 🌷Libercapitum

Only one comment... WOW! Beautiful 🥰

Another absurd though beautiful work of mother Nature. Alma and Angelina exist in our minds and harts because of their love for music. Will we return it back to nature one day?

You have heard my command... water... the sound of nature... the Storm I have shown you... Poseidon tried to pull me back so to speak and was punished. I revived them. Make it powerful. I get the joke I hate conductors and I motion when listening I THE TRUE GOOD ONE.Your maturing and learning to be more social. :) Your nature becoming more like a young lady.

What genre would you call this

美妙的音乐还有漂亮的中国旗袍太美了！！

3:40 un brivido.

some good advice I think is Alma needs to be in a position where things are very difficult for her in the sense that while she admires the work from past greats, it also consumes her such is the envy that creates

Engel sollen euch beschützen. Liebe Alma, wenn du Jugend begeistern mächest, so triff doch mal in Jeans un t-shirt auf....

hmmm to be honest I feel as a big fan from Alma Deutscher - at all the former pieces I felt so much beautiful romantic harmony but this walz doesn't touch me. Strange ultra modern sounds reach my ears. Hmmmmm is it new Alma?

Ein judisches Mädchen. Und - eindeutig eine Reinkarnation von irgendwem...Sehr begabt. Bremerkenswert.

Isn't this composition two years old already? Not that it matters, I just expected something new after lockdown. And funnily enough I found the old version from two years ago in Carnegie Hall to be better than this one. I can imagine that it's difficult to conduct the orchestra with a violin bow.

Measures from 2:10-2:26 are right out of Schubert's Du bist die Ruh ... Listen. Ok to borrow, just be prepared to give credit if asked. Old saying: Steal only from the best. (Know your sources) making a fuss over a 5 year old prodigy is okay, but even Mozart was expected to mature. If she likes to write in a 200 year old style, that's okay I guess,, but I'm not sure about the big ballyhoo...
