I grew up listening to Sakura, mostly as Koto music. I thought I was tired of this music, but I was wrong! I really like your performance, Alexandra.
One of the most talented young guitarists around, in my opinion. I really hope Alexandra will put out an album so I can listen around my house!
She's great! The skills needed to play at that level, I'm amazed at her. The Sakura variations, that is expert, super master level. $100 says she kills it! (Kills means plays it great.)
Paul Flynn She has a CD out at the moment Paul, it’s called ‘Verano’ and is available on alexandrawhittingham.com. I also agree she is one of the finest young guitarist around.
@@nelsonx5326 it's barely an intermediate piece... You need to listen more to music
@@soullessSiIence says who?
Yes an album and book also ❤🙏
I went to Kyoto, Japan in March. At 6 o'clock in the morning, the light of the sky gradually shone, and the elegant fragrance floated in the cold air. This music reminded me of the feeling at that time.
Beautiful! Congratulations Alexandra! 👏👏👏
I realize I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch new series online?
@Archer Samson Ehh I use flixportal. you can find it by googling:P -fabian
@Fabian Ryland Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it !!
@Archer Samson no problem =)
I played this very arrangement of Sakura many years ago. At some point in time I thought that I was doing quite well, but comparing to this, I might as well have been playing a broomstick. Such poise, grace and serenity. Stunning.
桜 Thank you for playing Japanese songs
I love Japan. Love from india
The most amazing guitarrist,extremely sensitive,technically perfect,magicaly sweet,your art speak to spirit and heart in a wonderful harmony.Thank you very much.
Now Alexandra is featuring a Japanese? songwriter! I love the BREADTH of her song choices/composers and the fact that I love ALL of her videos on TH-cam.
As I sat hypnotized, focused, my coffee got cold, 🤷♂️, off to the microwave before I start the replay! Truly was a beautifully executed piece, thank you.
Wow, I see a fair lady of sakura playing in the paradise😍
😂 👌
I am very happy to listening to this performance.
In Japan, this song is played on the koto. I'm impressed that this song is in great harmony with the sound of the guitar.
I would like to express respect and appreciation to Ms. Alexandra for playing the song of my country beautifully.
Between koto arrangement and guitar, which one is better my friend?
..
Its just my curiosity
Your sounds is like Japanese traditional instrument Koto. So your sounds express Japanese music!!
I like your play! Brava!
Music is truly THE international language, and no one does a better job in communicating the feeling of human emotion better than this young guitarist
So beautifully done!
I can't even imagine the joy and satisfaction of being in a room with a small audience watching you play and finding myself getting lost in a trance. Your guitar skills are simply masterful and elegant.
Alexandra is one of the best young talented Guitarist I have heard lately. Hope everyone agrees.
Wholeheartedly
Her tone is amazing and she's so expressive. Plus she really understands what she's playing. She breathes life into all her pieces.
At the risk of repeating myself, I see in each work of Princess Alexandra, the synthesis of beauty, talent, art and good taste ... I know several parts of this melody through my Japanese friends. But I must say that this work was excellent. Congratulations Princess!
Haiku: by me... for you.. penned today:

A cherry tree has also begun to scatter Japan, but it's a serious situation this year. Thank you very much for your performance by which a heart calms down.
