Spare us the predictable sexism of Norman Lebrecht
“I would not be wasting space on Yuja Wang if she was not an outstanding pianist.” …”She habitually changes costume in a concert interval to show more leg and she feeds with internet with a stream of selfies in halter tops and skimpy shorts.” …”She is 34 and there’s a sell-by date to consider.” This…
