I saw Garrick Ohlsson play the Busoni a couple of years ago with Cleveland Orchestra; he didn't look any more stressed than someone eating a sandwich. Even the Hamelin video on YouTube shows the pianist looking plenty stressed from time to time.
I wonder if Ciccolini had the technique for the Busoni--I mean I only know his Satie records, and that repertoire surely didn't stretch him that much.
Follow Ups:
Complete Mozart Sonatas, complete Beethoven Sonatas, complete Debussy piano works, Tchaikovsky Concerto, Albeniz, Granados, Falla, lots of Liszt (my own first exposure to his playing), Chabrier, Schubert, Schumann, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Ravel, Saint-Saens, Grieg, and (yes) Busoni (even aside from the Concerto). (And I didn't even mention Satie!)In fact, when I interviewed him, Ciccolini mentioned that he was excited to be recording some of Busoni's solo works (which is how his story about the (non) performance of the Busoni Concerto also came up). Also, it looks like Erato put out a collection of Ciccolini's recordings from 1950 to 1991 this past November - 56 LP's [EDIT: Oops! I meant CD's].

A fine musician. My only quibble is that, to me, he made Spanish music sound Italianate (you know, just as Karajan made Prokofiev 5 sound German, as did Pappano with Aida, amazingly enough).
Maybe it's just me?
