"An auspicious debut."
"A true specialist in Scriabin's pianism" — refined, sensitive, and technically flawless.
"An artist in the making, one to watch."
"Daria's solo recital was themed 'Feminine Power' and lived up to it with enduring energy and great expressiveness until the very end."
"With the highest degree of identification, Mrs. Vasileva succeeded in bringing each Scriabin’s sonata to life with its own characteristics… Her performance was of great intensity, freedom, and clarity."
