Pianist Walter Gieseking, absent from the U. S. for two years, had already established himself as a prime interpreter of the subtle iridescences of Claude Debussy. Long before he reached Debussy (which he admits he plays "the right way . . . without any noticeable motion of the fingers"), Gieseking made his audience aware that in two years and more than 200 European concerts his playing of Bach, Mozart, Schumann...
