Horowitz recorded that, and Wiliam Kapell also.
Both are fantastic!!

I believe they recorded the original Liszt and not the Busoni transcription. 

I have Egon Petri's and Christopher O'Riley's recordings. 
PM me if you want them.

PM'd  :)

By the way, I'm pretty sure the O'Riley is not 100% Busoni-transcription, I've heard that he switches back to the Liszt version later on.

I'm sure that Hororowitz recorded Busoni transcription, althaught Horowitz also added some own things..

I read in Grammophone that Kapell recorded Busoni..I'm not 100% sure

Horowitz mixed-and-matched between the Liszt and Busoni transcriptions, but it's mainly the Liszt version that he plays.

Kapell also mainly plays the Liszt transcription, but adds some from the Busoni, notably the final coda.

Let me ask you a question.
Petri's recording is a LP from Westminster, right?
Do you know if the CD of this recording exists?

thanks
I've been looking for it for a long time.

I've been looking for a CD release of Petri's recording, but have not found one.

Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
