On piano.  The original score features both piano and harpsichord versions.
The Gilel's performance was first released on a Melodia LP D 014775/6; with
Moscow Phil.  Kondrashin, cond.  It has been reissued on a CD, but don't
have that information handy.

There is also a performance of the piano version with the composer at the
keyboard and Mitropoulos conducting.  It can be found on one of the New
York Philharmonic collections of broadcast performances.
