Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 performed by Yuja Wang

At first, when she was walking out onto the stage, I wondered if they were applauding her or the mini-skirt. 

But clearly, after the performance, they were clearly applauding the magnificent musician.

For too many years, it's been a kind of typecast belief that woman pianists were more suited to only Mozart, Hayden, Bach and "lighter" fare, that the Russian composers wrote too "heavy" for the female pianist to handle effectively.  That young lady proved otherwise, as did this one.... (although not all that young)
