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.

Absolutely one of the best pairings of the Liszt Concertos ever IMHO - up there with the Richter and Zimerman sets. And the Dohnanyi is incredible too. I guess this recording came from the days when Kocsis and Fischer were on good terms. I read that they later had a falling out, partly because of politics - although Fischer's words on Kocsis' death (in the articles you linked to) seemed to be genuinely felt and eloquent.
BTW, if you want to hear one of the wildest interpretations of the last movement of Schubert's Great C-major Symphony, check out Kocsis conducting it on uTube:
