I think that all one composer recitals are kind of boring. I do think an all Scriabin recital would be pretty interesting. A set of preludes from op. 11, Fantasy, Poeme satanique, 5th or 4th sonata, Op. 65 etudes, and the 10th sonata maybe? That way there’s some variety in the form.

I like what Grimaud has done with her last few releases. Having a unifying concept is a good way to get people to hear some pieces that they haven’t heard before.

My fave creative program was Huangci turning the scarlatti sonata into suites of sorts. Didn’t always work but appreciated the thought

i like the somewhat recent (at least on big name labels) trend of ‘nesting’ pieces in recitals or discs, like the Víkingur Ólafsson mix of Debussy and Rameau, and the Yuja shuffling of Chopin and Scriabin (both perfect pairings really)

I like some of da Ho’s programs, where he will start with a greatest hit.
For example, opening with da Schu Arabesque before da 3rd Zonata.
It’s kinda like a rock band opening with a greatist hit to warm up da crowd :whale:
