a when she heard her mother playing the piano and then played the melody herself and she was only two years old at that time now aged thirteen i am i was recently in berlin for the german premiere of the first opera and that's where we met up with a young woman i can from southern england. this is a special day for the torture at berlin state ballet they're rehearsing to perform her opera cinderella has a ballet suite asked us to find performing to. know i composed the piece to music yes. almost from britain she's thirteen but she's already a composer pianist and violinist she loves berlin and vienna so she talks to us in both german and english. to fairfax have to give us a kind of way to this and that to the saying that.

it's always exciting when she dreams up new ideas for the performance on our original i composed cinderella as an opera when she was just ten years old. she began writing music when she was five she got her first violin at age three but was already playing simple melodies on a piano at the tender age of two. i always think from my melody for making bags and i would i would always listen to it . when i was three i think as i listened to. a beautiful song with a head start because i listened to the alibi when i went to sleep and i remember how much i loved it and i wanted to listen to it again and again and then i

afterwards i asked my parents how can you use it be so beautiful. and i was so fine i've been wanting to compose. i would much rather be composing than you know going to school and i have friends lots of friends anyway and i you know except for music and i'm i'm normal i love to climb trees and skipping and jumping the trampoline and having ice cream so. i don't think i missed much. of the rehearsals in berlin this routine for an accomplished composer like on how

well they perform work. did you mean that. on her travels she's accompanied by her father guy dortch or a well known linguist she's surrounded by professional musicians the orchestra conductor and the organizer of the festival ballet has to be performed. but all my daughter is not afraid to express her opinion loud and clear. it was too much yes. i think it will be better it is not so overpowering yes. i do spend a lot of time with that yes but and i. have quite often i have to tell them you know how to play the music because i composed it i wasn't i wasn't in this i i never wanted to be little i always wanted to be a grown up and to be taken seriously as a grown up she always comes up with ideas when she's alone especially when she's skipping rope. i don't actually just people i mean i don't actually do what the new

mood what is supposed to be and i actually get with it but i just wave it around like this. and i think of stories and think of music and i imagine things and i daydream. visit to the rehearsal was over after just ninety minutes she says she really liked hearing. music and seeing the dancers. unfortunately now she has to leave. i. just putting the pro to today if it's to berlin now i have to fly to vienna because i have to do something there tomorrow and then the day after tomorrow i fly back to berlin a whole body it's a bit complicated but it's ok. you get busy life. almost torture of wunderkind who was always on the goal.

the five men featured in this week's high five we're all highly gifted too but they had something else in common as well they were all vegetarians unlike today with a full industry has long since adapt it's to catering to people who don't eat meat it was a bit more complicated back then here are. five famous europeans who you probably didn't know were pushed ariens. is there a link between great intelligence and a vegetarian lifestyle that's not clear what we do know however is that genius physicist albert einstein adopted a vegetarian diet in the later stages of his life. einstein fifteen our ranking of famous european vegetarians once penned a letter saying he believes humans weren't born to be meat eaters that's one of einstein's theories that has yet to be proven.

this historical figure meanwhile was one of the world's greatest natural scientists born in seven hundred sixty nine in berlin alexander from humboldt traveled the globe exploring its many wonders. he comes in at fourth place on our list convo chose a vegetarian lifestyle not only because of his respect for animals but also for ecological reasons he once wrote. where a hunter lives ten shepherds one hundred farmers and a thousand gardeners can live wise words. this man is regarded as russia's finest writer of all time leo tolstoy mourning eighteen twenty eight he adopted a very healthy lifestyle as he grew older tolstoy takes third place in our ranking at some stage the writer decided to do without alcohol cigarettes and. he said to have served his aunt a live chicken once along with a big knife and then supposedly told her you wanted chicken but none of us would kill it so you'll have to do it yourself.

you know month old going from good to born in frankfurt in seven hundred forty nine had a lifelong hunger for knowledge is your patient as a writer and poet is stellar and he also devoted much time to the natural sciences it was also health conscious and therefore opted for vegetarian fare putting him in second place on our famous vegetarians ranking. good to was convinced that abstaining from meat was good for his brain and besides that he couldn't stand animal cruelty either. but this man arguably surpasses them all leonardo da vinci born in fourteen fifty two in italy is one of the brightest minds ever to have walked this earth given she was an artist scientist architect and inventor he takes the top spot in our ranking

not for his many achievements but for his impressive commitment to to terri and as a given she swore off meat when he was young and once prophesied the time will come when men will look upon the murder of animals as they look upon the murder of man. oh. what images come to mind when you think of the typical gentleman somebody who drives like a madman on the motorway flashing his lights at anyone who doesn't get out of his the way fast enough all senses sunday's polishing his much beloved car well maybe on you facebook series that so gentleman would show he might just be right. so we just. want to be a cartoonist we go for mandates pokes fun. typically germany idiosyncracies.

so we go weekly dose of german humor. i don't know but to g.w. duramax facebook page. but although i am german i'm not at all like that and that is what all germans say now on a more serious note natural. of the kind of thing that most of us try to avoid for instance a volcano eruption burning heat and flowing lava and not the sort of things that make me want to hang around in iceland we met a guy who sees things very differently ackman zealots on is a photographer who specialized in volcanoes full more than thirty years now.

ultima lava fiery destruction and breathtaking beauty at the same time these photos capture the moment one of ok now we were up they were taken by icelandic photographer ragnar cigarettes. because across from photograph in a. rush but it's over for all pushes you to name it creatively you have to be very creative you have to be on your post. he loves it one of all pain comes to life it gets as close as possible whether with his as you be or a small plane. i've been very close i don't know if it's a very from growing. it's going very slowly. it's a safe distance. of course. about the runner. mostly because i'm scared which things are happening but you know you're in first

and i knew that. ragnar first rose to fame through his photos of iceland's most famous volcano. yorka. the ash it produced one interrupted in two thousand and ten grounded flights across europe ragnar took ten thousand photos of the volcano breaking anything where you think it was thinks for things to happen to see the eruption it's out of because it's. the clouds of the one thousand and and everything everywhere and you can see the fire. just stay there for hours and if. for more than thirty years know ragnar sigurdsson has been photographing landscapes and nature motifs all over the far north from greenland and norway to the north pole.

but few places have as many natural wonders as his native icelander known as the land of fire and ice its one hundred thirty volcanoes and hot geysers of shade iceland's national identity. it's not the kind of just i think the whole nation is like that we all love their options. it's not their church i mean sometimes it can be meditates which can be life threatening but we have been classed the past decades we. when you have that kind of. what you call towards the reference. to a photo shoot at a crater landscape near reykjavik it was created by a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago. capturing images of the volcanic rock under different light conditions fascinates ragnar sigurdsson. he's always aiming to try out new technologies and techniques. using

a drone he experiments was unusual perspectives he says he's always on the hunt for the next killer shot. and there's always. another day another light another situation another perspective. another way to do it or wish. you know or it's never the. broadmoor sigurdsson remains true to his favorite subject the next volcanic eruption in iceland is sure to come possibly with just a few minutes notice. and after all those amazing images we want to know what you like to photograph best you can upload one of your favorite photos to our website and you will automatically draw to an excuse if you're on the wrist watch so looking forward to
