Hatto Hoax
In what is being called classical music's "scandal of the year" (and there's really no scandal like a classical-music scandal), it turns out that recordings by the late Joyce Hatto, possibly the "greatest [classical] pianist no one has heard of" (according to Gramophone magazine) were allegedly ripped off from recordings by Laszlo Simon, Vladimir Ashkenazy, and others. Indeed, some say that most of her hundred-plus recordings on her husband William Barrington-Coupe's Concert Artist label may be stolen fakes, some of which, Gramophone learned, had been electronically extended. Barrington-Coupe has so far denied the fraud. And the plot thickens.
I've been keeping up with the revelations and rumors on Jessica Duchan's Classical Music Blog.
