Arturo Michelangeli - Debussy Reflets dans l'eau video

Pianist: Arturo Michelangeli playing Claude Debussy's "Reflets dans l'eau" in D-flat major from Images Book 1. "Reflets dans l'eau" translates to "Reflections in the Water." This pianist was hailed as the most mathematical in the 20th century. Aside from Gould, Michelangeli was considered a "human metronome." I find his Debussy ~slightly~ dry, but still amazingly colorful. contradictory statement, i know. Images Book 1 consists of three pieces, all composed within 1904 and 1905. I'm intersted to know, DO YOU CONSIDER DEBUSSY "IMPRESSIONISTIC?" if not.. what do YOU think he is?
