How far did this series(1970/1)get?: i have only the first 4 and a couple of Fiorentinos plus Challis playing Moscheles. Ok, BC caused lots of problems but not everything he did was bad: some great artists on Delta, for instance.These Revolution LPs are nicely presented and play well, a bit harsh on climaxes/high frequencies. Challis is particuarly good and his Moscheles Lp prefigures Schumann in parts.

These ...I love the "Is God is dead" part. These are the sort of subject-changing, catch-you-off-guard ruminations Barrington Coupe is famous for, and I have little down between that and the sentence structure and grammar that the post came from him. He is still trying to rehabilitate not her, but his reputation.<br /><br />I once suspected a literary web site was being gamed by sock puppets of one author who very badly wanted to win a literary prize, a prize based on popularity. Almost all the praise this author got read the same way. I drew the attention of this to the site's administrators, as well as the fact that these comments all had ISP addresses from the same section of the country, Dallas, TX. The administrators told me they had analysed the messages carefully and knew factually that they were from different and traceable people, though how they did that they did not explain. They assured me when they had created the website they made it so that no one could "game" it. So I created about ten sock puppets of my own and posted in praise of me over the next month, and they never caught on. So much for thoroughly-vetting the identity of a poster. Btw, I won the prize, too, but refused it for this very reason.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719660392615503421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-41595919582704961862009-07-14T20:46:39.706+01:002009-07-14T20:46:39.706+01:00It is entirely possible to have technique, talent,...It is entirely possible to have technique, talent, but not have the ability to perform in public under the intense scrutiny of the press and all the rest of the fluff that goes along with life as a public perofrmer.<br /><br />Look at the number of so called great performers who retired from public performance? Yeuhudi Menuhin comes to mind. How many many performers refuse to be put into the crucible of the recording studio? Martha Argerich and Sviatoslav Richter come to mind.<br /><br />People who no long wish to, or for some reason are not suited to being performers even though they have the understanding and musical talent often make good teachers. This may well have been true of Joyce Hatto.<br /><br />This account sounds authentic to me. It sounds authentic enough to me that I wish other students of hers would come forward so we may understand this story completely. Somehow, I have the feeling that the complete story has not been told yet.<br /><br />The discovery of these fakes was a great feather in the cap of some of the academics who made and confirmed this discovery. Don't count that out as a motive for wanting the story to be larger than life. Lets listen long enough to learn the truth sans all the egos involved.<br /><br />I have favourite performers who, when I mention their name, people just look at me as if I was crazy ... they've never heard of them. One that immediately comes to mind is Imogene Cooper who's Schubert recordings are amongst my favourites.<br /><br /><br />Those who sit in the privileged seats as critics for major publishing outlets have no corner on truth or the discernment of beauty.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />davidfrecordjackethistorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431571179485586897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-72011614260926907762007-04-07T01:20:00.000+01:002007-04-07T01:20:00.000+01:00The style of this piece entirely resembles the sty...The style of this piece entirely resembles the style of the fraudulent biography of 'Rene Kohler' on the crimnal Concert Artist website.

See for example Christopher Howell at http://members2.boardhost.com/MusicWebUK/msg/1173953677.html . Perhaps you would feel less forgiving if you had yourself been conned by Hatto and her fraudster husband.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441533785753617183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-4559682196062288522007-03-20T21:35:00.000+00:002007-03-20T21:35:00.000+00:00Gergio, due to the intrusive actions of the media ...Gergio, due to the intrusive actions of the media I didn't identify this pupil of Joyce Hatto's.

I spoke with others who had heard her play live and the general feeling was negative, but they didn't comment on her person.<BR/><BR/>Walter Ramsey<BR/>ramseytheii@hotmail.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02990775635616356995noreply@blogger.com
