I'm no pianist, so my knowledge of the repertoire is limited, but as far as that knowledge does go, I've read that many of Ligeti's etudes are notoriously difficult to play because of his love for writing complicated polymeter. I've never found a performance of L'escalier du Diable on YouTube that sounds fully right. My first exposure to the Ligeti etudes was through the Aimard recordings, so that might skew my perspective a bit.
