She's a good pianist, but I don't think she's that good..... I think had she not been so attractive, I think she would have remained obscure.
The few works I've heard both Yuja Wang and Ayako Uehara play (notably Rachmaninoff's Paganini Rhapsody and Tchaikovsky's First Concerto), there was no comparison, Uehara was far-and-above better..... (Uehara's Tchaik Concerto One is one of the best I've heard.) But Ayako doesn't have the "looks" that Yuja has.
