I don't think anyone has mentioned performances of the Debussy preludes
on the fortepiano. Jos van Immerseel recorded Book 1 and the Images on
Channel Classics; Immerseel uses an 1897 Erard piano. Another fortepiano
recording, this time of the complete Preludes, comes from Alain Planes on
Harmonia Mundi. I like Immerseel more, but the Planes is a worthy
purchase.
A modern piano recording I like very much is from Martin Jones on Nimbus
who has recorded the entire Debussy piano oevre. I can't say that Jones
is the best around, but I do love the Nimbus soundstage.
