She’s recognized for her originality, immediacy, authenticity, inexpugnable desire to grow in her professionalism. At the age of 24, Daria already has some significant achievements, despite being basically a self-taught performer. She had no musicians in her family neither she has any connections in the musical world. Building from her natural sense and support of her family and friends, Daria set herself a goal to overcome the orthodox opinions of the academic classical music.
Performance of Daria Gloukhova is recognized as highly professional and mature. She has no conservative burdens neither in transcription of the composers that she perform, nor in presentation herself on stage.
With all respect for Daria's very accomplished playing (not to mention her striking looks

), this is not a site for agents to promote their artists. Especially not if the artist in question already has her own website featuring her recordings. We like for pianists to participate in person, not being plugged by someone else. The excited blurb given here does her no favors...
inexpugnable desire to grow in her professionalism...
overcome the orthodox opinions of the academic classical music ... please gimme a break
Also, there is little point in posting incomplete (demo) recordings here.
But as said it's very nice playing. And you have to hand it to old Hummel, he could write a pretty darn good piece of piano music when he set his mind to it. He should be wider known, and not just for his Trumpet Concerto. I like to think he was an influence on Chopin, maybe more so than Field whose music IMO does not hold a candle to Hummel's.
