Joyce Hatto - The Ultimate Recording Hoax - Part 5

This CD is not what it seems:

 

It's another direct rip-off of a major recording on a major label

 

Example 6:

Joyce Hatto plays Brahms - or rather, no she doesn't, Ashkenazy does - and no, isn't not the mysterious René Köhler and the National Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, it's the Vienna Philharmonic under Haitink.

A second orchestral recording proves once more to be a direct copy of a major label release, this time one of Decca's first CD issues, dating from back in 1982. No small names here - giants in every sense, in conductor, soloist and orchestra...

We have yet to investigate a Hatto recording that has not proved to be a hoax.
