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.

Vidéo précieuse comme toutes celles de votre chaîne.
La manie des intégrales, à laquelle j'adhère, car j'aime tout savoir de l'environnement d'une pièce que j'aime,
fait oublier que Debussy ne voulait pas qu'on jouât tous les préludes successivement.
Deux ou trois suffisaient...
On a pris de l'avance sur les consommateurs de YouTube de l'an 2050 et de l'an 2100
ils diront : ils avaient déjà pensé à tout,
y compris à montrer la partition qui défile
pendant l'audition des préludes de Debussy.

Los veinticuatro Preludios (dos libros, 1909-1910 y 1911-1913) son piezas de carácter cuyos títulos pintorescos están colocados más bien al final que al principio de cada pieza, de manera que oyentes o intérpretes puedan formar sus propias imágenes.

03:33 - 2. Moderado (...Velas)

Una interpretación extraordinaria de los preludios para piano de Debussy, interpretados no nota a nota, sino forma a forma, color a color. La atención al detalle es minuciosa: las notas parecen doblarse, los ataques individuales fundirse, y la música se mueve sin esfuerzo entre el fuego centelleante y los lagos de calma. Las pausas en la música están perfectamente controladas: mira aquí, parecen decir, con gestos minuciosos, mira aquí este pasaje increíble.
A veces se critica que esta grabación es demasiado "dura", incluso "romántica", pero este tipo de crítica se equivoca un poco. Parece suponer que la música impresionista debe ser plácida, reflexiva, incluso delicada, pero en realidad no se trata de eso. La música impresionista (si se acepta el término) pretende hacer imaginar algo, evocar algún tipo de imagen. Puede ser una imagen de calma o de violencia, pero lo que importa es la imagen, la nitidez de sus contornos, y según ese criterio, ésta es una grabación para la eternidad.

I appreciate how clear the structure feels. So many people treat Debussy like they are improvising. This is great.
In my humble opinion, 12-TET is lame.
I accidentally am arguing with one about that. Nonetheless, it's good music.
Kobalt
It does sometimes sound like improvisation and also he* not they

Looking back at this comment I wrote. Not even sure what I meant exactly or if I stand by it? Maybe it’s just his pacing. Feels very deliberate, and there’s restraint. You feel every small moment connected to the context of the larger phrases, but I guess that’s just good playing in general?
In my humble opinion, 12-TET is lame.
@Kobalt Debussy doesn't have Twitter.

I have loved these Preludes by Debussy for many years. (I am now 84). My favorite is "The Sunken Cathedral" and this is a spectacularly beautiful performance of it. It is played with just the right amount of emotion. Too many pianists play it as if it should be dripping with schmaltz. The other Preludes are also very well interpreted.
Etien Baku
I agree with you, zimerman has made a wonderful performance and you can also see it on prelude n° 3, which when played by most other pianists doesn't have that defined structure of the notes and the power that zimerman puts in it.
