The lady is trying to impress a bit too much with secondary assets, professionally speaking. It has a paradox effect for me. Less interesting, not more.
Of course she is a very beautiful woman.
Today there are many more women pianist more talented who don’t play much strongly like her.
I can’t see the problem in a good looking woman posing for photographs. Maybe if she was less photogenic she would automatically play better?
I can dismiss that with one name: Linda McCartney!
That could be a good way to attract new audience that would then go to a “classical” concert just because they have admired her in their own social environment. We need all we can find as unfamiliar audiences.
So, feminism consists of disapproving unchivalrous men, and dressing like that?
Clothes are repressive, ladies shall emancipate?
I am not sure that is the best dress for her.
Whether it’s wearing a tight dress or holding a kazoo on a stage…same “look at me” musician mentality. It gets old fast.
Whoever is not enthusiastic about her two arguments, cast the first stone.
if anyone doesn’t like what she’s wearing, comments in anyway that she’s showing too much, DON’T LOOK. it’s getting tiring…
Who knows Khatia, knows that she puts on something like that to cause a reaction. The same goes for her miniskirt colleague Yuja. Maybe in a perfect world you can dress like a hooker and expect everyone to tune that out and talk about a Beethoven interpretation. In our world, provocations always evoke reactions. And mostly these are not nice ones, like the comments you mentioned.
Embarrassing moment…
I have permission to see her in concert. But i must not
Sit in the front row.
Your wife will know what she allows you to do.
Why ever not? The front row gives you the “brest” views.
As far as she continues to play marvellously, I don’t care what she is wearing.
Then why you guys don’t blame Thielemann wearing his blue sack-like suit or Nelsons for his long black shirt coming down to his knees or his purple velvet suit for 2020 Vienna Neujahrconcert?
Both gentlemen age like other men, they become rounder, not to say fatter. Thielemann is over 60, Nelsons only 44. They have always been serious and successful musicians; in their youth they were both good-looking. But they never sexualised their performances and struck sexy poses. Men are not expected to do that either, YW and KB on the other hand are embarrassing and have, especially YW, bad fashion taste.
PS The conductor Viotti makes sexiness on his website.
So come on them Karin, lets have a few photographs of your good self decked out in your own sartorial elegance…………and do tell us of the fashion houses that you have been commissioned to design for!
If you see a beautiful woman in a beautiful dress as embarassing, I think you must visit ophthalmologist.
By the way, Thielemann looks good in his tailcoat even in his 62.
Sartorial choices of Nelsons are just a great mystery for me 🙂
I mean, let’s judge everyone in the same terms
A group of men jeering at a woman musician. How surprising.
All our dear Khatia is doing is simply keeping abreast of fashion.
That’s weird. I see more than one.
Why does she keep messing with her hair?
I don’t think Khatia has to work too hard to seize the limelight, with or without a piano at hand.
i wish i was 3 months younger
Just how many people listen with their ears? In this instance she is not playing, what she is wearing is irrelevant…
Wow, how many negative comments! Khatia is a wonderful pianist, a very intelligent, well-educated person, she speaks several languages. She is a humanist who, among other things, always tries to help her native Georgia and also Ukraine. If this all not enough to love her, she is a gorgeous, beautiful woman. I am pretty sure that all her critics do not have a tiny fractions of her accomplishments.
At the film festival! What film was she associated with?
