Ah - very interesting indeed, but Amazon has this to say ...Originally Posted by morris_minor
Edit: Brilliant Classics website has some really interesting releases - this one, of Shostakovich Choral Music, looks well worth seeking out . . .
This title will be released on March 25, 2013.
Pre-order now.
Which means I cannot yet get it cheap on Amazon Market Place.

Wasn't he a prime target for Barrington Coupe's Joyce Hatto "repertoire"?

Yes I believe so - it somewhat complicates the task of acquiring an authentic back catalogue :/

As far as I know the last "real" Joyce Hatto recordings were those of the Bax Sonatas and the Bax Symphonic Variations with Vernon Handley. I can personally vouch for the later as I attended the concert before the recording, and unless she had a body double who could play the piano . . .

Well, I don't think we should rule it out...I can personally vouch for the later as I attended the concert before the recording, and unless she had a body double who could play the piano . . .
The situation with Fiorentino is further complicated by the fact that various early recordings were issued under pseudonyms, such as 'Paul Procopolis'

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 . . .
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.
