Already seen it, it's brilliant!
Jarvi just looks like he's enjoying himself and the clarinettist (Andreas Ottensamer) plays the clarinet solo beautifully!

Fine for on stage, but this interpretation would never work in real life if done in the pit for ballet.
Too much rubato and "musicianship" would have the dancers falling down on stage.

Well, of course DiLeep......so what's new......I once attended a live ballet that tried to dance to a tape recording.......impossible even without rubato.
This was the theme song of the old Norman Ross,Sr. "Northwestern Hour" radio program that I listened to every morning but, of course, it was the Chicao Sym.
recording......

The sound and technique are unquestionably good but.....the finest artists can play a rubato and yet fit the music perfectly, this one didn't do it for me.
Maybe after a few years maturity it will be different.

I didn't see any dancers on stage; perhaps I need glasses.

But its an encore piece of the concert (the BPO seldom play encore in their normal concert) , as the conductor of the concert originallly not Neeme Jarvi, he just substitute someone, perhaps at the last moment, and the audience welcome him a lot, so they offered an encore, straight to the waltz and without the harp introduction , therefore its quite improvisatory and the solo is quite "improvisatory" too perhaps in a more formal performance of the piece, he would not take so much time in the phrase

This reminds me of what an experienced opera singer once told me about fermatas: "Some conductors insist a fermata should add 50% to the notated value, we singers prefer them to be too long."
This is a basic rule of stage performance: either you do it, or you don't. On stage, if you act in a balanced, moderate and sober way it comes as across as boring, imprecise and vague. If you want the audience to perceive the performance as balanced and interesting, you need to exaggerate quite a bit.
For a musician performing in a large hall, different shades of mp and small rubatos tend to sound like mistakes and sloppiness to the audience.
