Is this CD what it appears? No - it's one of over 100 fakes, concocted in what is the most amazing musical fraud ever perpetrated.
In February 2007, Pristine Audio, in conjunction with Gramophone magazine, unearthed something quite unprecedented in the world of classical music. Here we present our findings:
