  • The Inner Workings of Alma Deutscher's Musical Genius
    II. LaRouche on Education The Inner Workings of Alma Deutscher’s Musical Genius by Michelle Rasmussen I want to write beautiful music—music that makes the world a better place. —Alma Deutscher May 19—When I think about 12-year-old Alma Deutscher, the budding English composer, violin- ist, and pianist, I cannot help but be reminded of Robert Schumann’s first public statement about Frédéric Chopin: “Hats off, gentlemen, a genius.”1 Our political movement is dedicated to the proposition that all children can become ge- niuses, if their creative potential is developed. Alma is proof of that. We are convinced that the most important challenge of humanity is to de- velop a strategy to unleash the creativity of every man, woman and child, and that a crucial method Alex Nightingale Smith/almadeutscher.com “If the world is so ugly, then what’s the point of making it even uglier, to achieve this, is by reliving the creative discov- with ugly music? . So, if you want to hear how ugly the modern world eries of the past. Alma is also proof of that. And is, then you don’t need to come to my concert in July. You can just switch we are determined to create a new global renais- on the television.” sance, for which new musical compositions, based on the principles of the greatest classical music, In addition to the beautiful music, Alma also re- will help lead the way.

Her first piece for symphony orchestra, Dance of the Solent Mermaids was also premiered in 2015. Aged 10, Alma finished a full length opera, Cinderella.

  • MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings of the Year 2019
    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2019 This is the seventeenth year that MusicWeb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2018-November 2019). The 128 selections have come from 27 members of the team and 65 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources; I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, one has received three nominations: An English Coronation on Signum Classics and ten have received two nominations: Gounod’s Faust on Bru Zane Matthias Goerne’s Schumann Lieder on Harmonia Mundi Prokofiev’s Romeo & Juliet choreographed by John Cranko on C Major Marx’s Herbstymphonie on CPO Weinberg symphonies on DG Shostakovich piano works on Hyperion Late Beethoven sonatas on Hyperion Korngold orchestral works on Chandos Coates orchestral works on Chandos Music connected to Leonardo da Vinci on Alpha Hyperion was this year’s leading label with nine nominations, just ahead of C Major with eight. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2300 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year, but this year one recording in particular put itself forward as the obvious candidate. An English Coronation 1902-1953 Simon Russell Beale, Rowan Pierce, Matthew Martin, Gabrieli Consort; Gabrieli Roar; Gabrieli Players; Chetham’s Symphonic Brass Ensemble/Paul McCreesh rec.
