We saw him play and conduct with the Hungarian State Orchestra about ten or so years ago. They did some of his orchestrations of Debussy songs. And back in the 80's, I saw him play a couple of Rachmaninoff Concertos with De Waart in San Fancisco, in preparation for the Philips Rachmaninoff set they made at that time. He also has a lot of good (and difficult!) transcriptions for piano.
You have to admire the breadth of things he did well - and not just in the field of pianism.
