Posted by Alistair Hinton on March 4, 2007, 11:27 pm, in reply to "Re: Hatto? Ha!" But this doesn't stop at the performer/s and his/her/their performances; what about music that's never been recorded before, especially if it is not newly composed? The possibilities are almost endless, surely? Who is going to try to prove - let alone guarantee total success in proving - that the music advertised as being recorded on a CD is genuinely by the composer being credited with its composition on the cover and in the accompanying booklet? Best, Alistair

"I have learned one thing from this fiasco, and that is not to trust a recording from someone that no one has heard in live performance for 30 years. It would make sense that in future, if a recording is submitted for review from a musician who has not performed recently on the concert stage or anywhere else in public, that someone make the effort to hear the artist play something before publishing a review and promoting the recording. Had anyone asked Hatto to sit down and play the equivalent of one or two tracks from any of her recordings (say some of the Transcendental Études or Godowsky Variations), this whole business would have been nipped in the bud."
