In Reply to: How much does the SF Symphony LOVE Yuja Wang? posted by Chris from Lafayette on March 21, 2012 at 20:27:50:
In the March issue of BBC Music (on which she's the cover girl), Yuja refers to "the dress" incident at Hollywood Bowl last summer. If you don't remember, here's a memory tickler:
Anyway, her take on the brouhaha that ensued is as follows: "It's Hollywood. It's LA. They're so superficial there - no offense - so the only thing they can focus on is the dress." That's right! Here she was just thinking of ONLY the music at that concert, and people have the nerve to focus on that dress! I share her outrage! ;-)
Another surprising part of the interview is that one of her idols was Evgeny Kissin. As she says, "I had so many fantasies, but meeting him in person was such as disaster. I'm like, 'Really? You're like that?'". I'd LOVE to know what that little incident was all about!
