Just came across these links in the French Wikipedia, and thought I'd share. Unfortunately the video is cut in two:

My favourite however remains a recording of Busoni's transcription, performed by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli in 1973 in Lugano. Leaves me breathless each time I listen to it. And there are very few recordings that have this effect on me.
