From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Gieseking is at the top with Michelangeli, Francois, Jacobs, Richter

All those pianists have recorded parts of the Debussy output that are as good as it gets.
- Gieseking probably ahead in most of the works
- Michelangeli for the Preludes, Book 1 Vatican recording, and Images
- Francois for Images and other pieces
- Paul Jacobs is pretty astonishing and very individual in everything he recorded
- Richter in some of the Preludes and many other pieces

Honourable mention to Rosen in the Etudes.

Gieseking played a Bechstein, which sets him apart from most others. It's certainly a different sound.
