In Reply to: David P. Goldman ("Spengler") on Yuja Wang and Milos Yiannopoulos--required reading! posted by John Marks on February 15, 2017 at 08:06:53:
Last May, she strode to the Steinway at Carnegie Hall in impossibly high heels and a gown that left nothing to the imagination, and played Beethoven's most difficult piano work better than any Westerner has played it. Not just better: I am convinced that Ms. Wang is the only pianist who has ever played it correctly, possibly excluding Franz Liszt, who gave its premiere in the 1830s.I stopped reading the article after reading that....
There are several pianists who I'd travel to Los Angeles to watch live..... But Yuja Wang is not one of them..... I think her attractiveness may have poisoned the opinions of some critics. (I could only wish Ayako Uehara were that attractive. The few pieces I've heard Wang and Uehara both play, there was no comparison.... Uehara was at another level.)
