Scaled-down transcriptions

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I recall learning many of the Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven symphonies by playing them as piano duets.

Are there piano transcriptions of Wagner operas and Bruckner symphonies somewhere?
Would any pianist record them nowadays?

There are Liszt's transcriptions of excerpts from the Wagner operas - some of which get recorded (the Tristan "Liebestod" most frequently).

Some of Bruckner's Symphonies transcribed for Piano Duet (Nos 3 by Mahler) are available on record:

Mahler also arranged the Sixth for Piano duet, but that doesn't seem to have been recorded.

Kalmus publish a transcription of the Seventh for Piano duet, apparently by the composer himself:

August Stradal transcribed (iirc) all the Bruckner symphonies for solo piano. However, having tried to play some of his Liszt symphonic poem transcriptions (and having heard these on Toccata Classics excellent ongoing series), you would need a supervirtuoso to play them!
