I'm pretty sure it's in the the Kocsis complete box set - it's worth while investing in it.

Anyone want to comment on what they think of the Scherzo?
The score calls it a masterpiece - I think it's a good work (although I think the ending is weak), but find it odd that the piano is virtually absent during the last 15 minutes of the piece. He doesn't specify the piano as concertante, so to keep the solo instrument silent for so long a time is strange.
