Accompanying concertos, Play full tuttis or cut? Options

[Yet another muso]

I am accompanying some diplomas this session that involve concertos. One of the teachers of the students told me that in diplomas full tuttis should be played, but I am a bit surprised by this since everywhere else it seems to be expected to make sensible cuts of the longer tuttis. Does anyone know if this teacher is correct?

We need to work this out since it will affect the timing of the programmes. In one programme, without the tuttis the programme will be under length and she will have to add another short piece. She would much rather not have to do this though - she is playing the trumpet and worried about stamina. She likes the idea of substantial parts of the time of her recital being taken up with me playing the piano alone! I want to be sure though. I would hate for us to be told once I start playing a long tutti on the day that I need to cut them, only for her to then end up under time.

I probably need to email the board about this but does anyone have the answer?

Thanks

No, the syllabus says something like this, 'you should use your discretion in matters such as the omission of tutti sections'. This is the ABRSM syllabus - I'm not sure about Trinity or LCM.

I played the Mozart D major concerto for my LRSM and cut all the tuttis in the same way that I would for a grade exam.

The diplomas are DipABRSM so there is the answer. Not sure where the teacher got the idea that I'd have to play the lot. Good news for me, I don't have to learn the tuttis (always the only hard bits!), not such good news for the students. Thanks very much!
