Yes, he is surely prepared to play other composers, and NYPO has a vast library that includes a lot of lesser known or rarely played composers. Personally, I love the music of Rachmaninoff, BUT I'd prefer to hear the Glazunov or the Martucci or the Stenhammar or any of a hundred other concertos, because the Rachmaninoff concertos get played constantly and the others rarely. Even noted composers -- how often do we see the Dvorak piano concerto? Does anyone even know that Elgar wrote a piano concerto?Oh how I wish for American orchestras to play music that I have not already heard 1,000 times. Orchestras of 75 years ago played a huge variety of music. Toscanini, Stokowski, Stock, Furtwangler, etc, etc, offered much more diverse programs. Even now, in Europe, the orchestras play a much larger selection of music than U.S. orchestras. And that music gets streamed or broadcast.
It is a sad state of affairs in the U.S. We have an abundance of orchestras and so little diversity to hear.
