Call me ungrateful but why couldn't we have a real pianist render these accompaniments??? If the argument is that you wouldn't have a steady tempo, it would be a simple matter of having the performer play to a "click track" while tracking.
I know, I know, it comes down to budget. Paying a guy to sit at a keyboard and adding studio time and post production costs would require a minimum amount of sales just to cover the production. But midi keyboard (with little to no dynamic content) sounds just "GAWD AWFUL!"

Non - steady 'Click-Tracks' are labor intensive. I just created a click track for an arrangement for clarinet quartet of Dvorak's String Quartet #12, 1st movement. It took me four days of 5-6 hours a day to complete and test it. And now, that is only my interpretation of the piece that players have to follow.

Well, I mean if the intent is to be rock steady (listen to the Mozart Concerto second mvt. example) then you can just designate a tempo and generate a click track, then the performer follows along in headphones.
I think what you have there Ken is a "tempo map." That would be awfully hard to expect a pianist in a studio to follow along with a full arrangement worth of subjective tempo changes.
In that case, it would be preferable to let the musician at hand do what he does best.......create the musical environment. This, to me ears, would have a FAR more successful end result.
