Few can rival him, especially regarding Debussy and Ravel. Excellent pianistic skills, a culture of musical expression, and a love for the Mediterranean landscape have been significant sources for Gieseking's specialty in this genre. The current recordings showcase a fascinating combination of the highest artistic talent in touch, nuance, and sensitivity, and the pianist meets Debussy's criteria of "Clarity, elegance" as important and typical characteristics of French music in a delightful manner.
