I have a recording of this transcription on CD.  My copy was played by
Cypron Kyrstas (I think that's the name, anyway) on the ``Mark Allen Concert
Grand #1''.  It's pressed by Teldec, and I bought it through MHS at their
standard ridiculous price of $16.99 (it's $23.99 for people who don't get
the catalog/purchase subsrciption).

A virtuoso transcription: Kyrstas actually fills in a few melodic lines that
Liszt left out.  And an impressive piece of music, though the finale is
not quite up to the rest of the work.  The first three movemnts are a joy,
though.
