That one you link to sounds good. I also had a look around and found <a href="http://www.dvd4music.com/onlineshop/details/dr2104-1.html" rel="nofollow">this DVD</a> of a performance by Boris Berezovsky of Lizst's "Trancendental Etudes" -- which are some of the most technically difficult piano solo works around, period. Also see the listing <a href="http://www.ideale-audience.com/site/fiche_dvd.325.0.html?&tx_programcatalog_pi1[params]=id%3A17%7Cpos%3A5%7Cnb%3A13%7Cfrom%3Ala_roque_d_antheron.324.0.html%3F%7ClstID%3A462%2C461%2C459%2C463%2C17%2C460%2C19%2C20%2C18%2C16%2C22%2C21%2C23&cHash=2203e9ef55" rel="nofollow">here</a>. The DVD doesn't seem to be generally available in the US, unfortunately.

Amazon does list an <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000000SR2" rel="nofollow">audio CD</a> of the Etudes by Berezovsky if you want a sample of what the performance sound on the DVD *might* be like (though different recording, no clue what the video would be like, etc etc).
