8-Year-Old Virtuoso

What a gem - a truly gifted little maidele - may her talent grown from strength to strength and her passion for music never fail. I too hope her parents are mindful that she is only a child and ensure her life is balanced appropriately. Carole from Australia

What a sublime performance. My husband and I both rose to give the little virtuoso a standing ovation. She is an enormously little girl and will have a great future but don't let her miss out on her childhood.

It would seem that the wonderous gift that Maya Tamir was born with has been carefully honored by her parents and teachers. I love her natural ability to move so gracefully with the music. It's a necessary ability to truly express the flow of the music as it was intended to be heard. So beautiful to see and hear a childs ability to pay homage to the piece in this way. I look forward to her continued freedom as she shares with us more such unique and precious performances. Braavo to such a gifted child.

Amazing connection to the Light of the creator.

This child does have tremendous talent, but all that bobbing around can be overcome. I am also a pianist, from early childhood. She should observe other concert pianists. We look forward to her lovely performances for many years to come. B'H

An amazing accomplishment. I would love to hear you recite your brachot and tefillot with the same beauty and fluency.

What an amazing little lady! May her parents continue to "shep nachas from her" bis 120. I just hope that all the attention will not have a negative effect on her. People need to realize that she is only 8 years old, realistically. She still has a whole childhood to experience. I hope that her parents and teacher remember that well.

Give me a BREAK! THIS CHILD IS GIFTED, AND THE MOVEMENTS OF HER HEAD HAS ZERO TO DO WITH HER PERFORMANCE...SHE IS GREAT! GET A LIFE, AND PRAISE HER EXECUTION OF THIS GREAT PIECE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC!!!!! GEORGE IN THE USA!

Mechaje Nefashot. Thanks

Very enjoyable performance for such a young child. Pity that her teacher does not tell her that the gyrations of her head and body are not necessary, on the contrary, they are distracting form her beautiful playing. I enjoyed her performance more when I listened, btu did not watch her.

I so enjoyed your performance, Maya. You are absolutely incredible. Thankyou Maya for sharing your gift with the world. We are all the better for it, and I thank God for you and your dedication to your gift.

Beautiful

although i agree that this child truly has a gift, i must say- people only seem to notice others who have extraordinary talents which exceed boundries. we must remember that every one of us is extremely special, likened exactly to Hashem's will. i also feel a bit sorry for this girl- who knows where this fame could lead her? people will no longer see her as a regular child. such fame is not so good for such a young person. she may never see a normal childhood.

She's gooooooooooooooooood never knew an 8 year old is that goooooooooooooood!!!

What a beautiful gift. This girl is an angel sent by our God. Jew people are gifted in so many things. I have a niece who really wants to learn, but we do not have the money in Mexico to learn piano is very expensive.

That's what makes the difference. She is great because she is "playing". It is God's gift of talent, but it is her exercise of that talent in joy that makes her different.

What a beautiful experince! Thank you Aish.

a plus for the pianist, D minus for the audience for interrupting the performance with premature applause. it seems almost inconceivable that so many in the audience could know so little about classical music!

Now, I understand what my mom had in mind when she forced me to practice the piano every day from the time I was 7 to when I reached age 13 and refused to do it anymore. Talent is a gift from G-d.

Would love to see more works played by her. Please keep us informed. Credit to the child, her parents and teacher!

she needs to make a tour in the US with the orchestra so that we may see her perform live! it would be a much more enthralling experience, but nevertheless i wish her a lot of luck and congradulate her on her talent!

A musically gifted child can only flourish in the right environment, and so hats off to the teacher and parents who make this possible. Only a prodigious teacher who is a virtuoso teacher, can create a virtuoso performer.

A true gift from Heaven!! It's incredible! What talent! God be praised for giving the world such beauty to listen to in this peace less time!

I would love to be the mother of this awesome child and listen to her practice everyday. Needless to say, share her keen sensitivity to music.

a rare genuis! may she merit to use her gift from G-D to praise, glorify, & sanctify Him.

Maya is not even reading the musical notes!!!! All by heart, or rarther from her heart Thanks Aish for sharing this

This little girl is amazing! Thank you for sharing her with the world! I feel so blessed listening to her.

THIS child is turely a woonder I THROUGLY ENJPOYED HER HAVEW ZUBIN MEHTA SOR DANIEL BARENBOIM HERAD HER YET

What a mature and magnificent performance. A pity about the ignorance-laden applause by the audience.Kol Hakavod to her for not being thrown by it.

Thank you for allowing others to hear this amazing child play the piano.

This must surely prove that every life at any age is so precious & must be protected as witnessed by this unbelievable piano performance by an eight year old girl ! What say you ? Jerald

What a remarkable gift! She plays like an angel with such grace. Thank you for streaming this music.
