He was one of the most important figures in music at the turn of the 20th century; his music represents the transition from late-romantic to 20th century classical.
Debussy's most dramatic contribution to music history was his disregard for traditional chord structures and tonality. He is one of the most important exponents of the whole tone scale in classical music history. His compositions flowed without a strict sense of metre or rhythm, and are considered the pioneering works of the Impressionist genre of classical music, named in comparison with the visual arts movement.
Debussy's impact was far reaching. His free use of harmony, which often altogether disregarded the concepts of tertian harmony, has been cited as an influence on the rise of Jazz music later in the 20th century.

I may not know anything about classical music, but I know goose bumps when I get them.

It's not too fast, he is able to achieve all the right colours and moods while bringing out the different voices, so for him, it is the right tempo. I was there live, and it was stunning.
@ErikCPianoman
Wow. What a great performance. You can tell he really understands the complex phrasing and voicing in this piece, regardless of his slightly controversial tempo (I think the piece speaks well in this performance tempo in this particular performance). Bravo.

Indeed one of if not my favourite performance of the piece !
@JohannesSNugroho
in his immaculate precision, he gracefully (and effortlessly) dances with all the hemiolas!!! Hamelin at best is here in my opinion!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@stephenjones105
he totally gets it. He understands the arc of this piece like no one else I've ever heard. and that includes Horowitz, Gieseking, etc. And I enjoy Horowitz's performances, especially when he was younger, but to me, the phrasing and the slight ritard before the climactic theme just is totally the way it leaps from the paper.
