    After watching several videos of Emily Bear, from her first introduction on Ellen's show to now, she displays a gentle spirit, and one that has a God given talent at the keyboard and vocals. While her physical beauty is superior, her gentle spirit and grounding far exceeds her beauty. She is wonderful to look at, but her music reaches into your soul. I would think in the years to come she will be at the forefront of Pianists that effect the musical world. I am very happy to have stumbled upon this talent!!

I think the members of the orchestra and the conductor are the proudest musicians in the world with Emily in the orchastra. 8:00 At the time of Wild West people say, Don't shoot the pianist' But now there's a new history moment. It's now "Kiss the Pianist.". 8:00.

Reflections of the Light.

    Very impressive composition for a twelve or thirteen year old. It's so rare for there to be genuine child prodigies. Others to look out for, both a bit younger than Emily, are American jazz pianist Joey Alexander who emerged as a ten year old playing the most amazing jazz; and British pianist, violinist and composer Alma Deutscher, who wrote a piano sonata aged 6, an opera aged 7, a full length opera aged 10, violin concerto aged 9, piano concerto aged 10 plus plenty of other works. So we've got Emily, Joey and Alma all at the same time, which is pretty remarkable. Would be interesting if they got together some time to make music.

  • @romapelan
    @romapelan 9 років тому +14

    This is what its all about: she shows us how a perfect developed human is supposed to Be, Source in human form, a natural human, humble, peaceful, creative, she is the perfection in human flesh, humble and yet Divine. The personification of Love, Light and Joy, all Divine attributes our true , real heritage. She is music herself, when she plays there is no one there , only Presence. It flows gently , pure, untouchable.

    This passionate welcome home to all Veterans is greatly appreciated. The thunderous applause and standing ovation were well deserved. Oddly, the other recording of this performance on UA-cam is even richer and more spectacular than this recording, probably because it was from a different vantage point back in the "cheap" seats. This recording emphasizes Emily and the Steinway piano while the other one highlights what the Rockford Orchestra was playing. These recordings show the complexity and sophistication of the music that 13 year old Emily Bear wrote.

      +65dirt Mozart was composing quality, classical music at eight. Bobby Fisher was the US chess champion at 13. The world has its geniuses and it's idiots, the latter of whom far outnumber the former. Be sure to give your particular god credit for them too:-)

      +Robert Harris Emily is a child prodigy as well! Have you seen her videos when she was much younger? She's pretty amazing in her own way.
