One conductor friend of mine, Jason Klein, conducts a local orchestra here in the SF Bay Area - the Saratoga Symphony. He loves a lot of the out-of-the-way repertoire (just as many of us on this forum do), and tries to persuade his soloists NOT to play war horses. At one of his concerts I attended years ago, Natasha Paremski played the Scharwenka Concerto No. 1. And last week, I was talking with Theodora Martin-Serbanescu, and she mentioned that she played (or was about to play - can't remember which now) the Scharwenka Concerto No. 4 with Jason and his orchestra. BTW, many of these parts have not been under copyright for quite a while, and are now available on IMSLP. So all that an orchestra like the Saratoga Symphony needs to do is just print them out!
