Recital programming
on: February 14, 2007, 08:56:04 PM
Stumbled on this interview with Joel Hastings, winner of 2006 WCH competition:
https://webconcerthall.com/interview/hastings.htm
On recital programming this is what he said:
MOL: How do you select repertoire for your concerto performance?
JH: At this stage in my career I don't have a choice in this matter. I play whatever I'm hired to play.
Is this how it works usually? What if you're asked to play pieces that are not in your repertoire?

If you don't know and can't learn them in time, you have to turn down the work, unfortunately. Certainly for concerts with an orchestra, until you get really established - and sometimes even then - the phone call will be 'we want to play this concerto in a concert this season, can you play it?'
Unless you're playing a solo recital in your own right, you will never have complete freedom over your concert repertoire because you have to choose it in conjunction with other musicians.
