Sergio Fiorentino - 'Fiorentino Edition IX' (works by Cesar Franck)

Possibly my favourite pianist.
:) Good things come to those who wait. (Maybe a long wait in this case, tho' :eyebrows:)Quote:

Oh yes - Paul Procopolis!
All this reminds me - there was a BBC drama about Joyce Hatto, written, if I recall, by Victoria Wood . . .
It makes you wonder what else goes on behind the closed doors of the record industry . . . :scratch:
Edit: reading the Wikipedia entry on the Hatto fraud, it seems that Concert Artists released some "Fiorentino" discs that weren't by him, so his discs weren't being passed off as Hatto's.
...which I thought was very good. A very audacious thing for Barrington-Coupe to try and pull off.Quote:
