Attending a concert is both an aural and visual experience and how an artist looks or acts can affect how one experiences a concert. When Yuja Wang came on stage wearing her now-famous “little red dress,” there was an audible gasp from the audience (most undoubtedly asking themselves the same question I did: “How is she going to sit on a piano bench wearing that?”). I commented on it in my review, although not to the extent that Mark Swed did (how could one not?). As an aside, my daughter chided me for a sexist comment but I pointed out that, in a town with Gustavo Dudamel and Lionel Bringuier conducting, there have been plenty of reviews with comments about male looks, as well.
