Walter Gieseking Debussy Suite Bergamasque, Arabesques, Pour le Piano & Rêverie

Walter Wilhelm Gieseking was a French-born German pianist and composer. Gieseking was renowned for his subtle touch, pedaling, and dynamic control—particularly in the music of Debussy and Ravel; he made integral recordings of all their published works which were extant during his life. He also recorded most of the solo piano works by Mozart.

The affinity of Walter Gieseking 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 master’s music. Remastered in 24bit/96kHz.
