I too would recommend the Jeno Jando recording with Andras Ligeti and the
Budapest Symphony Orchestra.  It's available in the U.S.  on the budget
LaserLight label No. 15 630.  It also contains excellent performances of
the Totentanz and the Wanderer Fantasy (after Schubert).  Wonderful playing
by Jando and Ligeti.  Also, the other two Jando and Ligeti/ Budapest SO
recordings in this series are excellent: Piano Concerto No.2 with the
Hungarian Fantasy and Polonaise Brilliante (LaserLight 15 631) and
Malediction; Lelio Fantasies; and The Ruins of Athens (LaserLight 14 011).

I recently obtained (remaindered at Tower) the Dante CD of Arthur de Greef
with Sir Landon Ronald and the Royal Albert Hall Symphony Orchestra playing
the two Piano Concerti, Hungarian Fantasy, Hungarian Rhapsody No.12 and
Polonaise No. 2.  For the date of the recordings, I found the sound very
good.  The playing is incredible.  Possibly the closest to Liszt himself
from one of his greatest pupils.
