Walter Giesekings affinity for the music of Debussy is nothing less than legendary. As Gramophone magazine wrote:
Debussy and Gieseking form an inseparable union where creator and recreator become one and the same person. Had Debussy lived to hear Gieseking he would surely have marvelled at such an uncanny identification with his very spirit. These miraculous recordings, dating from the early 1950s, continue to set a standard in the interpretation of the French masters music
Gieseking achieves miraculous tonal shadings and half-tints that fully subscribe to Debussys concept of a piano without hammers. Classics Today
Its range of resplendent expressivity extracted from Gieseking a rare state of inspiration, the kind that depersonalizes an artist and enables his auditors to catch glimpses of eternity. ClassicalNet
Gieseking is perhaps unmatched for the sensitivity and subtlety with which his performances tap into the nebulous and often hypnotic atmospheres of this groundbreaking music. Essential to any collection.
Here is that peerless palette of colour and texture, of a light and shade used with a nonchalantly deployed but precise expertise to illuminate every facet of Debussys teeming and insinuating imagination. Gramophone
