It would be nice if it were as honest and pure as sex appeal. really, there isn't much marketing muscle in the classical music business today. What you really don't hear that much about is the real prejudice in classical music. What school you came from and who was your teacher. the real stumbling block is the opportunity to get on the big stage and show your stuff. That opportunity is very political. But once these musicians are out there it is the audience that decides who succeeds and who does not. There really isn't much marketing out there. It is quite clear that Yuja has exploded on the classical scene because she is a rare and exceptional talent not because she wears short skirts. But who knows if she would have been given the opportunity to play major concerts as a teenager had she not been the star pupil of Gary Graffman out of Curtis. Of course one can argue that she was the star pupil of Gary Graffman and went to Curtis because she was such an exceptional talent.
