That would be fairly unusual in a modern performance, although not unheard of.

I would guess so. I only notice differences in the third movement when I listen to various performances (those repetitive short runs). I don't remember another recent (last 10 years) performance with these cuts.
Here's timing comparisons:
Heifetz
15:51
5:31
8:12
Frang
18:33
6:27
10:00
Gluzman
18:17
6:29
9:55
The timings are a little misleading because Ms. Frang takes some interesting tempos in many places in the piece.
Also, I did note late in the third movement that she did use the repetitive part to make a special point (I guess).
I don't mean that it's weird that you're right. ;-) I mean that you describe her approach to the cuts in the last movement absolutely correctly as I hear it too. I didn't realize this album was on Spotify, so I listened to the last movement of the Tchaikovsky. I wasn't following with the score, but I agree with you that the first couple of iterations of the main theme, she takes the cuts and then on the final appearance of the main theme, she opens out the cuts. Very strange - she must be the only one ever to have taken this approach to the cuts on a recording.
I agree with you that, at least as far as I can tell from Spotify, the performance seems very good too - lots of gusto in the playing!
Just a side note, ahendler pointed me to the Gluzman performance (really good, very masculine), and I noticed that he takes the cuts, too.
