Actually, my sense is that Yuja is more in demand these days than ever. I believe she appeared with the SF Symphony no less than four separate times last year - I can't ever recall that happening with any other artist. I think she appeared multiple separate times in LA (within the same year) too. Maybe she just likes the West Coast! ;-)
Anyway, you have to ask why symphony managements in both locations keep re-engaging her so often. I think one factor is that they know she's a lock to fill all the seats in the hall every time she appears. Of course, if one still doesn't like her playing, one can always retreat to the quote from Beethoven: "They say, vox populi, vox dei - I have never believed in this" [from Ferdinand Hiller's Reminiscences]. But in that case, there could also be some underlying self-flattery at work, viz, "I can discern beyond what the common crowd does"!
Just sayin'. ;-)
