Not wishing particularly to keep the Hatto thread going, but this seems a reasonable place to mention that the only disc of 'hers' that I reviewed (mainly to see what the fuss was about) was Granados's Goyescas. This has at last been (in part)identified by Farhan Malik at Pianophiles as the playing of one Hisako Hiseki on the obscure La Ma de Guido label. It seems it's just the first three pieces that were ripped off from here (for now) and yes, I've already been on Amazon and checked the one minute extracts - even with terrible streaming quality, it's obviously the same, especially those rather masculine sniffs that litter it. Piano sound's been altered a bit, but every inflection and bit of rubato is identical, so at least now I know who I was praising...
