Several years ago, someone asked me if a woman would ever win first prize in the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition. (Nobody won first prize in 2007.) I told him a woman did win it. Ayako Uehara from Japan, in 2002. (He didn't realize Ayako Uehara was a woman.)
I may be getting old but I can sometimes tell the difference.
I really thought Ayako was going to be a true star in the classical world.... The most amazing thing about her was she had the dynamic control and "explosiveness" that many would associate with "male" performers.... I think she overachieved, hit the proverbial "wall", and burned herself out.
I once played a clip of her for someone, and he started calling her "Herwitz"......
Her most recent performance..... She still has that dynamic "explosiveness"..... But her repertoire is too limited. She's in essence a Tchaikovsky specialist.
The person saw the name, and presumed it was a "he"...........
