Georgian Pianist Khatia Buniatishvili's Style Perturbs Classical World's Formal Sensibilities

Everything about Khatia Buniatishvili perturbs some segment of the classical world in some way at some point. Is that a bad thing though? Why must we sit in our most formal attire watching similarly dressed people play similarly arranged music? Does that enhance Vaughn Williams' Concerto Grosso into the sublime? Does it make Antonín Dvořák's: Cello Concerto in B minor, third Movement rondeau crisper? After all, the music must not hold that much sway if Khatia's cleavage has your attention more than Antonin. But don't just look at her boobs. The critic from the Daily Telegraph is not. He was told that Georgians were nice sweet people and the banging Khatia was doing to poor Stravinsky's Petroucshka was tantamount to rape, to say nothing what it was doing to Lady Chatterly and the ideas it was putting in her head. Do you love classical music? If so, Khatia Buniatishvili will likely piss you off at some point.
