The reality is, no soloist can play music that the orchestra cannot accompany. The orchestra must have the orchestral parts. So the soloist cannot choose to play just anything he/she wants. The soloist can play anything the orchestra has music for.It's very nice that San Diego Symphony had access to the orchestral parts for Tchaikovsky PC2. And since Ms. Yang now plays mostly with major orchestras with large libraries, she has more flexibility. (I suspect the SDSO borrowed the orchestral parts for this from the LAPO.)
Try that in Petaluma, KY or Fargo, ND or Augusta, Maine or Cheyenne, WY or any of the other hundreds of regional orchestras. It is unlikely that they would have the music.
It's wonderful that Ms. Wang can play whatever she wants with major orchestras. That is not the case for most soloists who are playing with smaller orchestras.
As for Tchaikovsky PC2, Tchaikovsky is a major composer. Let us know when she decides she wants to play a concerto by Paderewski (Rachmaninoff's primary competitor on the concert stage), Rufinatscha,Litoff, Bortkiewicz, McDowell, Scharwenka, Moszkowski, Tcherepnin, Pfitzner or Martucci. They are all terrific concertos. If she finds an orchestra with the music to accompany her, and if they are willing to put an unfamiliar composer on their program, I'll definitely be there.
