Unusual interpretation by Horowitz! I love this Étude, if you would like to listen to my recording and other pieces by Debussy feel free to visit my RUclips channel!
In my opinion, Horowitz is a bit too heavy handed for Debussy. The music should sound as if you were hearing it through a veil. Somewhat dreamlike. Horowitz is from the Russian romantic school which sounds much different.
I suppose Horowitz was giving "impressionistic" music a different treatment, for lack of a better word. That treatment doesn't seem to work, however. Just as Zimerman was giving Rach 2 a Chopinesque treatment. A bit too feminine in the latter case.
Marvelous Debussy and beautiful performance by Horowitz! Beautiful delicate passages.
Belle sonorité, jeu perlé, un super moment !
Magical, I love it, expecially the liberty in the middle part at 1:42 pp. and the rhythm.
Genius of pedaling
Une Merveille !
Horowitz: la créativité.
So beautiful playing!
J‘aime bien.
super pianist
beatiful!

And have you heard Debussy himself play his music ?
