Pianist Yuja Wang today made public an email written to her by writer, critic and Radio 3 presenter Norman LeBrecht, and her response that accuses the journalist of “derogatory misogynistic bullying”.
Lebrecht had written to the musician querying her decision to withdraw from a BBC Lebrecht Interview stating: “I am surprised and disappointed. I thought you were a serious person who stood by her commitments. I may have to revise that opinion.”
On her official Instagram account, over the screen grab of his email, Wang wrote her response: “@normanlebrecht this derogatory misogynistic bullying need [sic] to stop. We are human beings who grow with nourishing energy, not characters for you to abuse.”
Lebrecht has had a relationship with Radio 3 for more than 25 years, presenting lebrecht.live from 2000, and The Lebrecht Interview from 2006 to 2016 and again in 2024; but Sam Jackson, controller, said today that their relationship will not be continuing.
“When we saw the social media post we took action – we have spoken to Norman Lebrecht and we will no longer be working with him at BBC Radio 3,” said Jackson.
So a man - already guilty in the eyes of many feministas - who has had a relationship with this station for years, has been banned as the result of one woman’s whiny, inaccurate complaint.
This is why so many hate the Stalinist Left. Me included.
