I'm quite sure it's unlikely to come by, but i did come across the fact he made and arrangement and recorded it as well.

Due to illness, i was unable to attend the Wigmore Hall concert when he played it. Must have been some concert.

Never seen the sheets, but no doubt they will eventually surface.

That's a terrible shame.  i read that it was an astonishing performance from one of the most admirable pianists i can imagine. His Beethoven/Liszt is absolutely thrilling in character and pianistic accomplishment.
