To answer your second question, I suggest two additional recordings, which,
unfortunately I don't think are available on CD and are hard to find on LP:
E. Robert Schmitz on Camden, recorded in the late '40's or early 50's.
Schmitz studied with Diemer and wrote a definitive book on Debussy. Daniel
Ericourt on Kapp, recorded in 1960. Ericourt knew Debussy as a youth and
appeared with him in concert.
