Anyone have this?  Might be a nice alternative to the Liszt transcription.

An alternative, but not one of his best.

So not too effective in performance by comparison?

It probably lacks a decent recording to do it justice.

The Dennis Hennig recording is uneventfully boring. It is longer than the Liszt and is not really a good performance piece.

I would not spend time on it myself, but then again i would stand no chance of playing it.
