Tim Dickinson quoted the liner notes for his

>old Vox/Turnabout LP of this piece with Louis Kentner and Joan Havill.

This reminded me of a 1960 Parliament (Hungaroton original) LP containing
another orchestral version.  In the notes, by Herbert Glass (who seemed to
write all Parliament's notes): "After Liszt's death, his pupil Richard
Burmeister, himself a minor composer and one of the leading peripatetic
virtuosi of the turn of the century, constructed a vehicle for himself by
re-arranging the two-piano version for a single piano and orchestra..."

The LP refers to this as Concerto Pathetique.  As ever, the plot thickens.
