  • One of my favourite pieces. It was performed for the first time right here in Vienna in 1828, not so far from where I live. Schubert's Ständchen (Serenade).

      At first I didn't even realize it was Alma on the piano. At first I was thinking her and her friend both wore red. And then I thought maybe Alma cut her hair to match same length of her friends hair because they are best friends and want to have same hair length. Then when it zoomed in on the pianist I was like wait a minute...that's Alma!!!! Isn't that crazy I didn't recognize at first?!!!!

    Alma plays Shubert
    Schumann plays Robert
    Hearken to tunes divine
    For lonely Tree of Pine
    Give an ear to Deutscher
    And to those who taught her
    Violin - Dew of Immortality
    Piano - Heart of Vitality
    Playing with her best friend
    Self-knowledge is a trend
    To banish the darkness
    To usurp the starkness!

  • @masaasa9552

    I love the way Ms. Deutscher interpreted this Schubert's Serenade with such a sweet air of melancholy, depth and full of emotion. Other violinists (even the great Anne Sophie Mutter and Izahak Perlman) seem to play with too much sweetness and make this serenade overly romantic. It seems to me the lower voices of cello (Camille Thomas and Beautrice Berrut), viola (Carr-Petrova Duo) and sucj vocalist as Peter Schreier and Fischer Dieskau suite this melody better. While checking others play this music, I notice they start the first part low and move up to high when they play the second part, which is opposite to what Ms. Deutscher did. I feel Ms. Deutscher's version evokes a feeling of sweetness, melancholy and longing much more effectively in telling a story. It's not one dimensional. How she can make her violin sing with so much emotion!

    The violin is the only instrument that can truly touch my heart…I remember visiting France as a young man and in the many back streets of Paris I stumbled upon an old Jewish busker and he played “Yiddisha mama” and he played with such feeling I burst into tears I will never forget him I’m sure he is with the Ángels now playing his violin.

    I've loved Schubert for as long as I can remember (and that's a long time). In college, my music-majoring friends told me, "forget it, Rick, Schubert's derivative, unoriginal, didn't move music forward."
    I feel so vindicated every time I hear such a rare talent and brilliant mind as Alma Deutscher's championing Schubert's music.
