The year 2017 apparently marked the 140th anniversary of  Bortkiewicz' birth and the Heitere Suite was also performed at a concert in his memory in March 2017: Заключний концерт фестивалю пам`яті С. Борткевича
A video has been posted by the conductor of that performance: Igor Puchkov
The orchestra is identified as "Orchestra of the National organ and chamber music hall of Ukraine"
