Beautifully played. Tempo is fine.. people are so rigid! To me NO ONE plays this as Magnificently asTrifinov.

Myra Hess set a very high bar with this piece. And I've heard some famous pianists that don't reach the same emotional heights as Myra. This clears the bar. Merci beaucoup.

I find so beautiful.She is just owesome.Tempo is okay.its not fast as some people would want to put it

I simply love you

Divine

Sweet flowing. Excellent Dynamics and Legato

Regarding the faster tempo, to explain Sandra's view . . . Bach originally composed this piece with lyrics, to be sung. If you try to sing it at a slower tempo, you may run out of breath (you can find the lyrics in Wikipedia or other places.) Also note, the piece is about JOY. This was how she felt she should play it to reflect its choral nature and express joy.

Beautiful, but a little too fast for me to extract all the pleasure I usually can from this piece. To each his own, I guess.

Every individual is walking at its own speed through this life. Fast or slow the energy captured in this rendition is joy. Thank you Sandra for another beautiful testimony through play.

Beautiful music and your are is so beautiful ❤️ van ben fastenau Middelburg Holland thanks

Beautiful, Sandra! Blessings!

Waaaaaayyyy tooooooooo FAAAAAASSSSTTTTT!!!!

Great voicing!

Umm i think that's too fast ..

Fast yet still beautiful. Difficult to execute at this tempo.

Too fast!!!! Why hurry?

Precioso bravo ! ❤️

Play at 0.75 speed and will be correct tempo. Way too fast, what's the hurry?

Wonderful!!

Excellent.

elegant, danke!

Lovely Video

Simply too fast

too fast for me as well

Agreed, tempo is too fast. "Joy of Man's Desiring", is expression of someone who has entered into God's rest. The person concerned has learnt his lessons and has matured. There is no anxiety, worry or fear, because he is in the presence of God Yahweh Abba. The tempo therefore ought to be slower. No hurry. Imagine a pastoral scene. (e.g Psalm 23).

to understand bach and to play bach is not the same thing

I guess you mean "Jesus bleibet meine Freude"? The man was German, after all...

what for non-civilisated guys in the audience...

Piano tempo should not be something mechanical. And followed by numbers. Do not understand why some pianists think fast tempos sound good. Beautiful music does not stick to tempos, but feelings.

Tempo too fast

I love how she plays this piece with such grace you can see how this lady expresses this song, she's is really enjoying the music. Thanks so much. Bravo.

allez chez .......Alon Goldstein performs Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring

trés rapide.......

Fantastic !! .. I'll sing it with her piano :) ♫ ♪

Kudos and more kudos to this artist who understands that this is a composition of joy! I LOVE it!

Nice tempo, faster, I like it! And wonderful dynamic on 1:37 part, almost nobody raise on this part, with more focus on bass , my mother used to do it too... really great! Thank you!

Yes, it is faster than Myra Hess played it herself. And of course is a piano transcript a reduction of the expressional richness of an organ. But within this limitation it is wonderfully played, and the more female touch and expression are closer to Myra Hess than those of a male player, how excellent it may be played. She is a great talent.

I can see the justification for the faster tempo, in terms of this being a cantata - sung. But it's a good bit faster than Myra Hess played her own transcription. There is more than one recording of Hess herself on RUclips.

Que lindo

that's the speed you'll hear it the most in parts of germany. This is so great. I think this speed is almost perfect. You are truly amazing.

Way Too Fast.

This is the best delivery of this masterpiece that I've ever heard.

Beautifully played - wonderfully expressive! Sandra is gifted!

Wonderful tempo, exquisite execution of the music, subtle and beautiful!

simply beautiful!

Wonderful! No wonder Pastor Boli Zhang said she's an angel! Praise the Lord!

Beautifully played....
