I got the free voucher a few days ago and I saw/heard it 3 times already (I love the Taneyev 4)...absolutely fantastic performance, not so different from the one with the Philarmonia on Chandos.but with the added frisson of a live performance, and the Berliners on fire..riveting.
I believe this is really a piece that plays to Jarvi's père strenghts.
There's not much else in this forum's territory, but I urge you to check an equally great Berwald-Blomstedt concert.

Taneyev No.2 one of my favorites even if finished by someone else. I can barely stay in my seat during the last movement!

to some extent weren't #s1-3 all edited, if not necessarily completed, by others, helping to explain why the three of them were published so very posthumously? (I forget unfortunately.) ... anyway.

I found this version very different from the Chandos, to be honest. Overall it is much faster, particularly in the slow movement and the finale. And to be honest, to me at least the Chandos performance sounded a lot more ... considered than this one. Järvi is a great conductor, but he can also be very casual (probably a consequence of a very full schedule and little rehearsal) and to me the Berlin performance is a bit too slap-dash.

Particularly in that 1990s recording under Fedoseyev. Awful sound, but what a performance.

---interesting, that was just my impression from memory, I did not do any actual comparisons about tempi etc. so I could be wrong..I would not go as fas as to call the Berlin performance slapdash, though.
