Piano concert review
I'm toying with using 'well-worn' as a translation for 'sobadísima' here, but I think it may be too colloquial, though I've seen it used in this way in reference to songs, etc.
I'd be interested in hearing any other suggestions that might fit better here. For the UK. Ta!
Vaya reto tan apasionante que tiene por delante; en su tierra y con su orquesta, sorprender con una obra nada sencilla, pero a su vez ***sobadísima** entre los grandes intérpretes. Cumplió a rajatabla su deseo de convertir el piano en un miembro más de la orquesta y lo consiguió mediante unas dinámicas afines a la formación y un instrumento con una sonoridad propia más opaca que brillante.

(but is nevertheless) a warhorse in the repertoires of....
Merriam-Webster Dictionary: 3) something (as a work of art or musical composition) that has become overly familiar or hackneyed due to much repetition in the standard repertoire.
In my experience, it isn't always used in a blatantly negative way, but rather more to indicate that a piece has become a "must" in the repertoire of many artists.
