Grigory Sokolov says about Alexandra Dovgan: “This is one of those rare occasions. The eleven-year-old pianist Alexandra Dovgan can hardly be called a wonder child, for while this is a wonder, it is not child’s play. What one hears is a performance by a grown-up individual and a person. It is a special pleasure for me to commend the art of her remarkable music teacher, Mira Marchenko. Yet there are things that cannot be taught and learned. Alexandra Dovgan’s talent is exceptionally harmonious. Her playing is honest and concentrated. I predict a great future for her…”

You have expressed it so well, Grigory Sokolov. She has a unique, inborn talent and the discipline! to use it, to bring so much pleasure to others. she will go very far, actually she already has gone very far for her age. The lovely era dress, matching also the concert hall is so suitable for her (also in her great Mendelssohn no.1) unlike the dark colors for a young girl. I feel all kinds of details are important to create an esthetic magic.

It amazes me that she draws our attention to the music and not to her, we are drawn by the sounds of the music, all its light and shade and how she alters the degree she stresses. Then you are drawn to the person, amazed that someone so in touch with her interpretation of the music could be so young.

She has the fleshy touch of Gilels, the dynamic control and trills of Sokolov and a poise and elegance all her own: a worthy representative of the Russian piano school.

It's Mozart Himself at the piano. Bravo, Alexandra! No words, Hats off.

i love how in interview she mentions how much she likes applause. my god, who deserves it more?

Thank you Alexandra. Congratulations..!

She's a baby and has musicality way beyond her years. She is a find

Wonderful sound, and wonderful everything else. The Concertmaster knows what he has heard - I've *never* seen a Concertmaster stand alone, ever, at completion of a piece! It would be out of this world if it wasn't heaven on earth. Given the audio flaws on this recording it would be nice if it was released for download.

Dovgan is also a prize-winner at the Vladimir Krainev Moscow International Piano Competition (2nd prize, Moscow, 2017) and the 4th International Astana Piano Passion Competition (2nd prize, 2017). She has received a special prize from the Yamaha company. The young pianist has taken part in various international festivals and has toured in Russia and abroad.
