Ravel's Daphnis & Chloe

Does anyone know if there is a piano transcription of this awesome work?

i have just heard a two piano version of the famous dawn scene, on mp3 .com, with dag achatz and some other pianist .
i wish there was a piano transcription of the whole thing. it would be awesome, but at the same time i dont think it could match the awesome orchestration of the piece. it just is  a masterpiece.

Yes I know what you mean, it is really an orchestral thing, but I would like to play it sometime. Perhaps I will have to arrange it for other instruments.

I think it would lose all magic if you play it on a piano. The real beauty isn't in the notes themselves but in the colour and character of the orchestra and the way it is orchestrated.
