. . . of listening to a solo piano in 5-Ch. This is living! As one of the Amazon posters notes, "Incredible pianist with a sensitivity like no other." (BTW, I've also listened recently to a few of his performances in his recent complete Beethoven Sonatas set, and they seemed outstanding for the most part.)
I also like the old Ericourt/Kapp recordings (unusually "spikey" Debussy sometimes!) - it was originally issued complete and in stereo, but only the Preludes are easy to get now (although some "odds and ends" pieces are also available on that 18-CD "Debussy Edition" which DG issued a few years ago.
I'll also mention the Moravec recordings (Pour le piano, Children's Corner, some of the Preludes, etc.), some of which have been remastered in the new 12-disc "Portrait" set from Supraphon a couple of weeks ago - Supraphon obtained licenses from Connoisseur Society for a lot of material in that set, and what I've sampled sounds better than ever! Some (but not all - grr!) CD-quality downloads of the tracks from this set are also available at supraphonline.cz. (How's your Czech?) Moravec used a variety of pianos on his various recordings (Steinway, Baldwin, Bosendorfer, Petrof) - and that Moravec discography to which I linked a few weeks ago contains a lot of this detailed information, such as which piano he used for which track on which album.
Finally, I agree with Andy's recommendation of many of the Richter performances on various labels.
