J.S. Bach, Choral from Cantata BWV 147 "Jesus bleibet meine Freude", Alexandra Dovgan 

I am almost 80 years old. I can say that I have seen the rise and the ascent of a great pianist of century XXI. She is a marvellous girl. God bless her y give her a long life.

This girl is a genius.

This piece of music was absolute magic. Each note played had its own special meaning to Alexandra. I have never heard this music played with so much reverence. May God bless you Alexandra and keep you safe. Betz NZ

This is what the world needs more of. She is a great artist.

Gave me chills from the first note to well after she stopped playing. I never heard this piece at exactly the perfect tempo before.

An angel at a Piano! Plays like music from heaven. That’s what you are: SINGULAR!

This is heaven, thank you so much you are in this world Alexandra. Please stay healthy do not get Covid 19 virus. You have still so much to offer to this world. Love from the Netherlands

An angel sending us the voice of God 🌷

This is simply the best-Trifonov is also very sincere, but...her Mozart Trio from this month (July 22) is also a miracle of poise, complete mastery of touch, voicing, and phrasing. It really is a vey different way of presenting music and makes one feel the transcendent greatness of each piece she plays. Every phrase is pure yet has peerless refinement. Happy to see this is recognized by all. I agree that God has blessed her and can only pray for her continued gift to us for many many years.

I can't stand her performances. Most of the time makes me cry. So much beauty.

Often your playing fills me with great joy and understanding. In this case it fills my eyes with tears, but joyful ones. Bless you, Aleksandra!

I haven't heard it being played this well ever since I first heard Lipatti's recording many years ago. I am in awe.

She approached the inner melodic lines exquisitely, covered the triplets with a steady tempo and displayed and executed complete respect for this masterpiece. Salute!

She's like an angel from heaven.

They way she voices the lower notes is to die for. She is a revelation.

Wow. Very often played well, but rarely so beautifully. ❤️ The voicing at 2:32 is very special.

Played very maturely . No rush, no excitement and very composed.

Simply divine! Thank you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Lovely Bach and lovely artist Alexandra.

So lightly , so unaffectedly. Wonderful young pianist.

Just 🌹 lovely and so soulfully and sensitivitely played. Thank you, dear Alexandra for giving us such beautiful moments.

Very brave slowly tempo! This is really difficult to play it slowly but very consciously! Really beautiful! For me this is an example how wonderful how we human beings can be when we open our heart and let the voice of God flow through of us! Very touching! 🙏🙏🙏

Боже, как она прекрасна!

The only version I come back to!

Just beautiful word can’t say enough 🌹🌹🌹

I love the focus and distilled musicianship of this amazing young lady - extraordinary

I could sit through a hundred performances of this beautiful piece and never grow tired of Alexandra’s beautiful playing. Simply stunningly beautiful. She has made this old man very happy.

This Choral, the last extra in Basle after a splendid concert (26.10.20),You played it so humbly, it was quite a prayer to thank God for Your great talent. I was deeply impressed.

Ты наш Ангел! Столько теплоты,света,доброты, искренности и естественности, пусть это никогда не заканчивается! Спасибо за твою игру!

Браво, артист! Исполнение настолько же талантливо, насколько талантливо сочинение великого И.С. Баха. Аплодисменты преподавателю М. А. Марченко. Гениальный педагог! Спасибо за удовольствие слышать чудесную музыку в блестящем исполнении!

Дорогая Саша! Спасибо Вам за Ваши лёгкие, талантливые руки!!!! Как Вы, играя, ласкаете фортепьяно! Так никто не умеет!!! Поверьте! Может быть, только великий Горовиц. Крепкого Вам здоровья! Сил, Вдохновения и Радости!

Der schönste Choral aller Zeiten.

My favorite version. Have viewed like more than 100 times. 0:49 begin 2:30 incredible voicing

The alternative voicing at 2:30 is completely original as far as I know and a very smart way to add color to the third repetition of this passage.

Wunderbare Fingerwechsel und größtmögliche innere Ruhe.

Quand l'émotion, retenue, devient pure prière : un miracle de simplicité !

Absolutely stunning!!!!

Je n’ai jamais entendu autant toutes les notes…. J’aime son tempo et j’aime son interprétation pleine d’humilité. Résultat: je m’émerveille

12years old!

She is a musical genius! Bravo,Alexandra!!! 👏😊

Chère Aleksandra vous êtes un bijou et un miracle! Merci pour vos divines interprétations..

БРАВО!!! Не знаешь, Бахом наслаждаться или исполнением... Какая атмосфера глубины, высоты, звука, пространства и духовной радости!!! Мир настоящей Музыки - через мир юной девочки... Невероятно... СПАСИБО)))

So beautiful sounds! 🌹🌹🌺🌺💐💐

You are such an inspiration to us and many many others! Thank you so much for this gorgeous performance!🎶🎹💕

Сашенька, ты большая умница! Спасибо тебе огромное за свет, который ты несёшь в мир своим исполнением! Пусть Господь хранит тебя на жизненном пути!

Zdumienie! Nie dotykając niemalże klawiatury można wydobyć z instrumentu dźwięk...🤭😯 FANTASTYCZNIE❣👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

Pas d’emphase, beaucoup d’émotions,grande concentration, un pur bonheur

Слушаю с замиранием сердца и глаза намокли. Какое настроение, какая плавность и грация. Каждая нота пропета, в каждый аккорд вложена душа. Спасибо.

Сашенька, БРАВО!!! Бесподобное исполнение!!! Это настоящее музыкальное "кружево"! Крепкого тебе, Сашенька, здоровья, вдохновения и новых творческих побед!

chère Alexandra, cette musique est comme une prière pour moi, merci pour la joie que tu apportes aux gens par ton art. дорогая Александра, эта музыка для меня как молитва, спасибо тебе за радость, которую ты приносишь людям своим искусством.

Боже мой,как это прекрасно! Музыка продолжает звучать в голове после исполнения ещё долгое время... Браво!!!

A brilliant pianist who plays from within herself - I hope she always plays true to herself and her interpretation of the music.

Bravo! I am a big fan of Alexandra and Russian culture and music in general! - from Budapest, Hungary

Majestic simplicity...stunning like always. Take care Sacha

Это лучшее исполнение этого произведения....

Dame Myra Hess (her transcription) would play this in lunchtime concerts in London during WWII

Thank you Miss. Dovgan. You have blessed me today with your beautiful performance. I needed this.

She hasn't just played it. She has UNDERSTOOD it. Heard countless versions of that piece but in fact virtually none had that clarity and that transparency. Thank you!

Every time I listen to your playing this, my heart stops.

Такая хрупкая, почти хрустальная и такая потрясающая глубина понимания и исполнения! Браво , Сашенька ! Браво, Александра !

Alexandra, hemosa niña, mensajera de Dios.

This lovely Bach played with such feeling,sensitivity, soulfulness it melts the heart.

Божественное исполнение Баха!! Браво, Александра!

Lieve Sasha, niemand kan deze cantate nog mooier spelen dan jij ! Alle lovende woorden die ik zou kunnen gebruiken doen jou onrecht aan ! Dank je voor alle moois !

Dear Alexandra, when I hear you playing your piano sometimes I think to be in paradise.But sometimes lie down a little: too many concerts fatigue you too much , I think. You are a great artist.

Сашенька, ты удивительный человечек ! Ты посланник прекрасного . Твой звук - это магия . Твои эмоции - чистота и кристальность . Неси этот свет всегда . Пусть он никогда не гаснет в твоих руках , пусть мир станет добрее от волшебства , которое ты творишь каждую секунду ,прикасаясь к клавишам .

Extraordinaria, bravo

Beautiful beautiful performance!!!

Браво! Рояль звучит как симфонический оркестр!

She gets a standing ovation BEFORE HER PERFORMANCE: I've NEVER seen this BEFORE. REVERENCE is the quality she she brings to her performance that makes it A RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE. This is THE ULTIMATE GOAL of every truly committed artist. Alleluia. GOD BLESS Russia. :D Ken, Toronto, CANADA

Alexandra chan! What a miracle power you have !!Your piano always makes people smile, and walk all over “covid-19” !!!

Even Bach would be pleased.

👏👏👏Браво! Уникальное исполнение! Такое владение звуком, наитончайшие оттенки! И ничего лишнего!

Merci beaucoup. An interpretation that deserves to be up there with the great pianists.

Perfetto!

Милая Сашенька, браво! Звуки текут и голоса разговаривают! Успехов и удачи тебе! Умница!

Сашенька, благодарю!!!! Все ,как одно целое....дух,душа и тело... музыка, Саша и зал....так просто и так прекрасно!!!! Умница!!!! Храни тебя Господь!!!!

Despite this piece of music is very slow, it is very difficult to play because it must be done with the heart and the soul. Alexandra does it perfectly because she has a rare sensibility to the music. I think she is really a genius. Thank you so much for sharing your great talent Alexandra. I'll never forget the recital you did in Paris. Best regards and kisses from France.

...in complete control of the voicing. I think she was 11 years old when this concert happened? I am a little prouder to be human. We can accomplish so much good if only.....

Браво!!!

Very beautiful. Thank you. ❤️

excelente interpretação! linda música

Благодарю! Удачи!

Genial bravo mademoiselle Alexandra .. Quel cadeau nous fait la Russie .

Thank you for sharing your piano passion with Portugal and the World!

Alexandra est mon être préféré sur la terre. Tout en elle, subjugue.

This is incredible, how can a 12 year old play like this?
