RE: Wrong? It doesn't look that way.

I do love the "other than" comment. That is called cherry picking. And yeah, she is only playing it in Europe and Venezuela. So what? The bottom line...she chose the piece. Tchaikovsky 2nd is "routinely performed?" um...no. Both pieces are rarely performed and she is performing them because she chose to.

You are missing the point or dodging it. It is not about what is routinely performed or not. My assertion was and still is that those pieces were chosen by Yuja not by any orchestra. She calls the shots on her repertoire.

Rolex does not sponsor her website. They do sponsor her. They do not dictate repertoire to her either. By the way, neither does DG when it comes ot her recordings.

"If Yuja Wang specialized in contemporary music, as some excellent musicians do, she would most likely not call the shots."

You can talk about hypotheticals all you want. I'm talking about the reality of the situation. Yuja does not specialize in any one kind of classical music. She does pick her repertoire. That is reality. Nothing you saw on her schedule was dictated to her. all the pieces there are pieces she is choosing to play for this season and next.
