Anyone heard of this guy?

Dasha is generally a female name in Russian.
Yes, diminutive of Daria.
Never heard of this pianist though.
When I googled him - who is apparently a her - the name Daria Robotkina kept popping up. Maybe that’s the correct name?
The name sounds familar, vaguely remember a pianist with a similar sounding name from Piano Society c2004, could be her but she looks too young.
I think we’ve got her. Her website has a lot of Prokofiev among the audio clips, and the aesthetics is similar, even if she’s a bit more placable there. But it’s clear even from those clips that she bites.
Thanks chaps. I’m still looking for a good recording of these Etudes. Kissin has nailed the 3rd, and Rabotkina (presumably) here is good enough for me in the 4th. Field is still open in 1 and 2.
Yeah Kissin at Carnegie, some of his best playing.
Not a popular opinion, but that’s still my favourite recording of the Rhapsodie Espagnole by far.
Hm, I need to revisit it. I’m hugely fond of Stephen Hough’s studio recording myself. Bolet has a good one from Alice Tully Hall 1972-02-05 too, though I don’t find it quite as special as everyone else seem to do.
What is her website?

I don’t know WTF is going on mate. Just pass me da blunt and some of dat Russian azz 
Hough’s is an entirely different approach, very improvisatory in feel (e.g. what he does with many of the basses).
I enjoy it and it’s Lisztian to be sure but I just have Kissin’s interpretation burnt into my memory.
Bolet is good too, except for that tacked on, showy ending.
