Jorge Bolet has a pretty good recording of it.  I was lucky and burned a copy of it from my local library :)  of course, there's always leslie howard, but who likes leslie howard?? (cue tumbleweed)

He recorded the complete set, there's a 4disc set of the hungarian rhapsodies and the years of pilgrimage.
