  • Debussy is always unmistakable. No matter what piece it is, you can always hear his style.

  • I like Gieseking's speed, but I like Francois Joel-Thiollier's (i think that's how it's spelled) touch, especially on some of the staccato parts like at 0:38 on this recording.

  • fiero di essere Bergamasco

  • Most beautiful performer of Debussy, especially of Suite Bergamasque.

  • @Dnmk2007 Yep - Try the Arrau link, its tremendous playing, perhaps too 'moderato' in the other direction, but a wonderful play of it nonetheless. Too much time on Y/A or iTunes downloads has made the world think "Clair de lune" is all there is, and then miss this oh so nice prelude and the fantastic passpied.

  • @Dnmk2007 Yep - Try the Arrau link, its tremendous playing, perhaps too 'moderato' in the other direction, but a wonderful play of it nonetheless.

  • @Dnmk2007 yup

  • Excellent. Phrasing clear and decisive. I prefer a slightly less relentless approach with more give.
