In his upcoming concert with the LSO in Februrary, Eddie Daniels says he will improvise the cadenza of the Copland concerto completely. Anyone know if this has ever been done before?

Hopefully it has not been done before (and hopefully it will not be done again).

"One part of the concerto where this will be abundantly clear is the cadenza. The concerto comes complete with a long, fully written-out solo cadenza section which links the movements. It has its problems. Classical players who follow it verbatim. struggle to find the right kind of freedom. For Daniels the constraints of it are different: he suggested to me that Goodman had already moved on stylistically from the primitive swing feel of that cadenza by the time the work was written. Daniels will be playing most of the original cadenza, but will be "peppering it with entrances or doorways for Benny to come in, in several places. "He [Benny]will go wild!" promises Daniels."
This doesn't seem to say that he is improvising the cadenza, but rather elaborating or altering the one that is already there.

Ah, they've edited the article. Originally, it said that Eddie will be improvising the cadenza entirely. Hmm... it's interesting food for thought at least. The idea of an improvised cadenza in the Copland is intrigues me, even though it may be a bit wacky...

Mike -
Don't be afraid. Stand up and ask. E.D. is a nice fellow. The worst he can say is "Listen to how I do it at the concert."
