Edith Farnadi - yes I remember seeing tons of her Westminster LP's in the shops growing up, and yet I never got to know her playing. (Partly a question of my budget at that time.) I just listened to a couple of her Liszt selections on Spotify (Hungarian Rhapsody No. 10 and the last half of the Triangle Concerto - they don't seem to have her Rachmaninoff 2) and was impressed. As with their "nicknames for the Bruckner symphonies", Spotify has some funny titling going on with Farnadi's Liszt Concertos too: they're both tagged with the "EXPLICIT" designation!
BTW - yes, I love that Janis/Dorati recording too!
