I think the whole country fell in love with Lucy. Her teacher is a remarkable gift to these children and should win some sort of award for his compassion, patience, understanding and ability to bring out such talent as Lucy’s . Bravo to both for giving us such beautiful music.
What you say is true, but as a blind person, I take exception to you referring to ‘these children’. Why can’t she simply be a pianist, not a blind pianist?
@@emilymanning2606 Then take exception. But if you knew how hard it is to play the piano under any circumstances you would understand how truly remarkable the achievements of "these children" ,with all of their challenges, really is. Noone is "simply a pianist", blind or otherwise. I stand by my comment.

The fact that she’s not moving her head in time to the music must mean she is completely immersed in the musical part and not aware of her other movements. Her music is coming from a part of her brain that most of us could only dream of accessing.
@@davidklein1903 According to the laws of physics, there's not much she can do to change the frequency of her head movements, so it's possible it's a trance, she is hearing the sound better with her head tilted, or both.
I am losing my eyesight in my right slowly. This hit home so close because it reminds me that life doesn't stop if I lose my vision completely one day. I needed to watch this.
For viewers watching Lucy for the first time and perhaps wondering what the fuss is all about, it's worthwhile to trace her musical journey back to her early childhood, all documented on UA-cam, to understand the challenges she and her family faced in encouraging her to even communicate with them, let alone nurture and guide her towards this unlikely blossoming in the public eye. The Amber Trust (Patron Camilla, Queen Consort) appointed her teacher, Daniel Bath, himself an accomplished musician, to bring out whatever musical talent, if any, may lay hidden beneath Lucy's natural shyness and confronting physical mannerisms. This is the result so far. Every note memorised, every finger position practiced for hours, every emotional nuance achieved, is a minor miracle. It's Lucy's way of communicating at last, non-verbally. R (Australia)
@@branscombeR thank you R. I was really interested in knowing how this was possible. I also have worked and played with children, some with autism while teaching them to be safer in the water, some how to swim in water over their heads. Always trying to make a game of it helps as well as patience.
Consciousness is not only about the workings of the brain, but also about an extra dimension, sometimes referred to as the spirit or the soul. This girl demonstrates that in truckloads.
67 year old ex Classic Rock DJ...driven to tears. One of the most beautiful things I have experienced in my life. I had planned on having this song played at my funeral...now I want THIS video played, instead. BRAVO!!!
I had purchased tickets to this event, and I am proud to say I had the privilege of being there for this and the other amazing performances that night❤❤.
I remember seeing this remarkable young lady on the piano, hosted by Claudia Winkleman and Lang Lang. She blew me away then, and she is just a force to be reckoned with. She is awesome.
In den ersten Sekunden wird klar, dass Sie mit Engeln weg fliegt. So leicht. Im ersten Moment ist man fassungslos und berührt, wie sie Schwebend so spielen kann. Ein ganz großes Geschenk an die Menschheit.
I've never been so moved in my life... Her teacher deserves nothing less than a Humanitarian Award for his achievements.. i am humbled beyond words. For every like this comment gets, Lucys strength and passion will touch anothers heart.
@@cabosanlucasboi7882 the point isn't to take anything away from a persons "disability".. but to bring awareness to a majestic "ability" to bring joy into the lives of others. Would it make you feel better if I removed part of my comment, because if that's what you want...o.k. not a problem for me.
Bawling my eyes out, thank you for sharing this truly exquisite gift that Lucy has. And bravo to the charity, her teacher, and especially her dear family for unearthing the gift that is Lucy 🥹
Shes such a wonderful talent, i want to thank her parent's first of all ,then her teacher for such patience and understanding of these wonderful talented children. Thank you again Lucy you're amazing...❤️❤️❤️
@@davepegington9066Ich könnte mir nur schwer vorstellen, bei so viel Kopfbewegung so präzise mit den Händen zu arbeiten. Aber sie kann das und wird das Stimming wohl brauchen. Sie spielt wunderbar, finde ich.
@@davepegington9066 I am disappointed that someone who takes the time to watch this video can't listen without being distracted by things they don't understand. It's almost as if one's judgement is based only on appearance and perhaps envy and bitterness of a performer not being as recognized as this blind girl. No one would be impressed by a critic like yourself, your opinions show the shocking ugliness of your personality. You belong nowhere, least of all the Internet. Leave this place forever.
What stuns me about Lucy isn't how well she plays, it's the depth of emotion she brings that seems to always be even more prominent. That is what she's playing for us, not the notes on the piano. It all changes the way we understand music, others and ourselves.
YES. It's not 'just' how well she plays...with her 'disabilities' (!), it's the profound musicality and interpretation she brings to the piece. She's THIRTEEN. I can imagine Debussy jumping to his feet, applauding wildly, and yelling "Yes!! THAT'S what I meant to say!" 🥰
She has a wonderful, lyrical musicality. Debussy is always evocative, but listening to Lucy play this, I have visions of a beautiful summer day, flowers, wind, clouds...overwhelming beauty. Astonishing touch, intensely emotional. A performance worthy of any pianist, let alone a 13 year old who's blind and autistic. This beauty is inside her, and she lets us see it through her playing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift, Lucy!
This is the second time I have had the privilege to hear this talented young lady. But with a lump in my throat... With the orchestra so respectful... That must have been an electric evening. Just wonderful...
Lots of people must surely have tears in their eyes listening to Lucy's wonderful talent .I stand in awe of her I'm humbled by her humility and feel pride in my heart for her❤❤❤❤.
I have autism too. Asperger's. It's funny how people casually compare autism. With for example, blindness or being mentally deficient. . It depends on the autism for example. Asperger's typically have an above average intelligence and is a personality disorder which is not negatively effecting cognitive ability... Just find it interesting how you mentioned your autistic son as if this is somehow connected to a blind girl? As if both are on the same category?
@@davepegington9066I think the reason is because the girl doesn’t look like she is only blind. The way she moves her head when playing piano. I could be wrong.
This is an incredible and inspirational piece of video. My late father was blind. The effects of someone in your family being blind can be devastating. Happily there's so many wonderful folk around to help talented people like Lucy.
She doesn’t know what’s going on. She was forced treatment leading to this along with causing over deformation. Her mental growth is stunted , can’t even act like a child. They are just pushing around a veggie
Amazing Performance. Thank you for sharing your wonderful performance with us. We enjoyed every moment of your playing. All Blessings for a wonderful future to you Lucy. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Lucy is a fantastic talent and let’s not forget her marvellous teacher, a wonderful partnership.
Do hope she appears on next year's Proms.
Yes
Do you know the teachers name?
@@SoyalexasalazarSeams her teacher’s name is Daniel Bath.
Her teacher deserves a Nobel Peace Prize Award
In her blindness, she sees more than most. Her music is wonderful!
cringe
and music her communication. Simply amazing.
Pretentious comment!
As much as I have respect and admiration for her, I also have huge respect and admiration for her teacher. What a legend
Yup... Absolutely no argument about that! Daniel Bath is an absolutely amazing man, and Lucy's guardian angel. 💖
This isn't simply talent it's somewhere in the realms of the divine
Without a doubt, it surely is.
Your well meaning comment is an insult to both Lucy and her wonderful teacher Daniel.
Without Lucy's talent and Daniel's dedication the divine could not become evident
Channeling her higher self ❤
Yes, I felt close to God's Holy Spirit when she played and had tears of joy.
The teacher should be recognised as the Angel who is on earth to help children such as Lucy. He brings out their talent. Such a wonderful teacher. ❤
The fact that she’s not moving her head in time to the music must mean she is completely immersed in the musical part and not aware of her other movements. Her music is coming from a part of her brain that most of us could only dream of accessing.
it's possible the movement of the head reorients the ears and lets here "see" things her eyes can not.
Yes, the right brained emotional creative side...for sure...deeply soulful.
I think of her head movements as being indicative of being in a musical trance state where she is totally focused
@@davidklein1903 According to the laws of physics, there's not much she can do to change the frequency of her head movements, so it's possible it's a trance, she is hearing the sound better with her head tilted, or both.

Am watching this with one eye. Lost vision on the right.
She may be blind, but she can see clearer than the rest of us, because she sees with her heart❤.
We are just "normal" people, but she is "special".

So true
I love that she already enjoys her applause and recognition, and how she is growing in personal and musical maturity. What a gift it is to the world!

Superb. It breaks my heart to think of all the kids with amazing talent who were consigned to institutions
Absolutely heartbreaking
Lucy is Gods gift to the world to help humanity heal and learn to love one another. She is a beautiful priceless gift to us all.
All the people fighting and killing each other should be ashamed of themselves
I couldn't agree more. She is such a gift
I had purchased tickets to this event, and I am proud to say I had the privilege of being there for this and the other amazing performances that night❤❤.
As close to heaven as we will ever get
She doesn’t let being blind set her back. The fact that she played that from memory is impressive.
without the wonderful guidance of her Mum and Daniel I think she would be lost.

Compliments and Bravo to Lucy’s Mother, Daniel Bath her piano teacher and all of her Carers.

This has to be the most emotional piece of music I have ever heard. I've been watching Lucy play this now for 10 days and it still gets me right here.
I'm 74 yrs old an she inspires me no end, wonderful, simply wonderful !
And me grade 7 at 54
Music to touch the soul cry & be happy. She is a delight. A total delight.
Incredible talent one of the greatest pianists on the planet. Daniel has created a pure diamond in Lucy.
Anyone watching and listening to this wonderful girl will fall in love with her for all the right reasons. A remarkable girl, and teacher
Anytime I'm feeling blue, I put Lucy on UA-cam and I'm instantly transported to a better place
The most precious gifts come from the most unexpected places!
That was INCREDIBLE to watch and listen to. Lucy is a miracle.
There is something so very special about Lucy. She cannot study sheet music! As a pianist I am in awe ❤

Ничто её так не заботит.
Она не видит белый свет
И как он выглядит не знала
Незрячий ангел как рассвет
Все наши души пробуждала.
Каснувшись клавишей рукою
Душа неистово рыдала
И как найти ей путь домой
Девечье сердце подсказало.
С каким же трепетом она
Эту мелодию сыграла
Как будто видела сама
Предвосхищение начала.
