Kami, have you run the Bach/Busoni/Grimaud? Turns out she has the same birthdate as my SO (different years) same numerology sequence (1:9 probability) has a spouse or so that is my sign, whom is also a photographer!
Anyway, what do you think?
If the Youtube link was not to your liking because of the breaks, here is one to the same performance unbroken. Be aware you have to let it load almost completely as their servers are slooow!

You can stream/save the audio to certain audio software as well.
I decided to go with the full version (I started watching earlier but got interrupted) & it certainly is a grand piece; I seem to find Bach more accesible sometimes via transcription, and perhaps Busoni added a certain Romantic softening that I liked. I think I must have heard at least part of the piece before, as it sounded familiar.
I wouldn't mind trying the first few pages; I thought the introduction had an almost tragic air to it, but maybe more an extremely dignified expression of sorrow. Much of the rest of the piece will probably be forever beyond me unless I could devote all my time to music, which seems unlikely. The technical demands seemed just plain frightening around the 7 minute mark! Ms. Grimaud certainly has my envy! (*I fear I forgot to listen for the styles of music that you mentioned earlier..... there certainly was a lot going on, and too much to discern at one listening.)
[Edit: Reread your first post. Originally for solo violin?? Ummmmmm...... Erm...... I'd'n't've questioned you if you'd said it was a violin/orchestral piece!]
