Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings


After decades of failing to discover a compelling entry point into Classical, Debussy's solo piano works have captured my interest, perhaps because I can hear a connection with Jazz piano players I enjoy. 

I've enjoyed the Arrau versions from later in the Chilean's career on Spotify. There are a  few CDs available that I plan to buy but I haven't found any CDs of the Debussy recordings he did earlier in his career. Can anyone send me a link?

Which other pianists are renowned for interpreting these works? 

And now that I think of it, another question: What are the best online sources for Classical CDs?

There are two reference recordings of the Etudes: Krystian Zimmerman and Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. Both are marvelous but quite different.

I erred! I left off Mitsuko's last name. Uchida. So much for my proof reading!:-)

Thanks - I figured that out. Just ordered it from US seller on Ebay. 

@edcyn

Will check out the Entremont. Thank you.

@antigrunge2

Thanks.

@newbee --I just listened to the Bavouset via Qobuz.  Truly worthwhile. And better sound than my old Entremont. Now I got two  keepers!
