I saw a post over on the Google Groups rec.music.classical.recordings forum which contained a link to some unbelievable Schumann playing (Kreisleriana) from an unknown Russian babe pianist from the 70's, Tatiana Ryumina, a pupil of Yakov Flier. She's even more impetuous than Martha, but there are two caveats: the comment about the pitch of the Schumann being half a step too high (both in the Google Groups link and in my alternative links below) is correct, so the performance wasn't QUITE as fast as it sounds on YT, and both recordings are full of typical LP distortions which harden the tone quality. Definitely worth listening to through the muck though, and pretty electifying IMHO amidst some very incidental mistakes of the live performance. There's also a similarly exciting Liszt Tarantella performance from her available on YT. I can't believe there's not more available from a pianist of this quality.
Too bad - if she had arrived on the scene in this century, I think she would have been very well known and promoted. ;-)
The actual YouTube videos (the Schumann links are to different, cleaner-sounding uploads than the single link in the Google Groups post):
