5.0 out of 5 stars
Sublime performance by a master,
By George Fabian (Mountainside, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Preludes Books 1 & 2 (Audio CD)
Gieseking had no peer in his performances of Debussy's piano works. While there are a number of fine performances of these miniatures; Gieseking reaches the heights of sublimity in nuance, tonal quality, interpretation. A first choice for these works.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Legendary,
By A Customer
This review is from: Preludes Books 1 & 2 (Audio CD)
Gieseking paints these little gems in the most subtle colors with no excessive lingering over textures here and no fuss. Even if other artists have brought more pianistic refinement, Gieseking is still revelatory in terms of naturalness and spontaneity. The relative lack of immediacy in the (mono) sound only seems to enhance the mystery. This complete set certainly is legendary--something of a reference point, in fact--and fits on one mid-priced CD, too.
