Joyce Hatto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joyce Hatto (5 September 1928 – 29 or 30 June 2006) was a minor British pianist and piano teacher whose performing career spanned some twenty-five years, coming to an end in 1976. Late in her life, doctored copies of commercial recordings made by other pianists were released under her name, earning her high praise from critics. The deception only came to light a few months after her death.

[edit] Career
Hatto gave concerts in London from the 1950s onwards; there were also concerts by "pupils of Joyce Hatto".[1][2] She taught the piano at a girls' boarding school, Crofton Grange, in Hertfordshire.[3] In later life she claimed to have been in close contact with many of the greatest musicians of the time, but these claims are unverifiable.[4]
Her performances drew mixed notices from the critics. A critic for The Times wrote of an October 1953 performance at Chelsea Town Hall that "Joyce Hatto grappled doggedly with too hasty tempi in Mozart's D Minor piano concerto and was impeded from conveying significant feelings towards the work, especially in quick figuration."[4] Trevor Harvey wrote of her Saga recording of Rachmaninov's second Piano Concerto "one wonders ... whether her technique is really on top of the difficulties of this music ... She shows a musical sense of give and take with the orchestra but it remains a small, rather pallid performance" (The Gramophone, August 1961).
Vernon Handley, who conducted the Guildford Philharmonic on her recording of Sir Arnold Bax's Symphonic Variations, also had reservations about her playing: "She was very, very good as a solo player, and a very nice person, but she had a very doubtful sense of rhythm ... [t]he recording of the Bax was a tremendous labour."[5] Still the record received a favourable review: "Joyce Hatto gives a highly commendable account of the demanding piano part," wrote Robert Layton (Gramophone, February 1971).
It was claimed in newspaper obituaries that the eminent music critic Neville Cardus commented enthusiastically on her work[6], but it has been impossible to confirm these claims.
Hatto stopped performing in public in 1976, with only a few recordings to her credit, none of them for a major label. It was later claimed that she was already battling cancer at the time.[7]However, the consultant radiologist who saw her every six weeks for the last eight years of her life stated that she was first treated for ovarian cancer only fourteen years before her death and had had no previous history of the disease.[8]
[edit] Later attributed recordings
In her last years, more than 100 recordings attributed to her appeared. The repertoire represented on the CDs included the complete sonatas by Beethoven, Mozart and Prokofiev, concertos by Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Brahms and Mendelssohn, and most of Chopin's compositions, besides rarer works such as the complete Godowsky Chopin Studies. The recordings were released by the English label Concert Artist Recordings, run by Hatto's husband W. H. Barrington-Coupe. Barrington-Coupe had had extensive experience as a record producer and record-label owner.
From 2003 onwards, the recordings attributed to Hatto began to receive enthusiastic praise from a small number of participants on various Usenet groups, mailing lists, and web forums[9], sparked by a blind-listening test in December 2002 posted on ThePiano Yahoo group featuring a recording under Hatto's name of Liszt's Mephisto Waltz. Specialized record review magazines and websites, such as Gramophone, MusicWeb and Classics Today, as well as newspapers such as the Boston Globe, eventually discovered Hatto, reviewed the recordings (with mostly very favourable notices), and published interviews and appreciations of her career; in one case, she was described as "the greatest living pianist that almost no one has ever heard of."[10] Those praising the recordings included Tom Deacon, a former record producer for Philips, who produced the Great Pianists series, Bryce Morrison, a long-time reviewer for Gramophone, Jed Distler, a reviewer for Classics Today, Ateş Orga, a music critic who also wrote some of the liner notes for Concert Artist, as well as an obituary, and Ivan Davis, a well-known professional pianist [11].
In May 2005, the musicologist Marc-André Roberge reported on the Yahoo! Godowsky group![12] that, in Hatto’s version of the Chopin-Godowsky Studies on the Concert Artist label, a misreading of a chord was identical to one on the Carlo Grante recording (AIR-CD-9092, released 1993). However, this curious coincidence did not prompt Roberge (or others) to investigate further, and verification of the copying from the Grante disc only occurred in 2007 (see below).
In early 2006, doubts about various aspects of Hatto's recording output were expressed, both in the RMCR Usenet Group and, following the publication of a lengthy appreciation of Hatto in the March issue of Gramophone, by readers of that magazine. In particular, some found it hard to believe that a pianist who had not performed in public for decades and was said to be fighting cancer should produce in her old age a vast number of recordings, all apparently of high quality. It also proved difficult to confirm any of the details of the recordings made with orchestra, including even the existence of the conductor credited. The doubters were vigorously countered, most publicly by critic Jeremy Nicholas who, in the July 2006 issue of Gramophone, challenged unnamed sceptics to substantiate their accusations by providing evidence that would "stand up in a court of law". Nicholas's challenge was not taken up, and in December, Radio New Zealand was able, in all innocence, to re-broadcast their hour-long programme of glowing appreciation of the Concert Artist Hatto CDs. This programme included excerpts from a phone interview with Hatto herself, conducted on 6 April 2006, shortly before her death, in which she said nothing to dispel the presenter's assumption that she was the sole pianist on all the CDs.
The favourable reviews and publicity generated enormous sales for the Concert Artist CDs: in 2006, one online retailer did £50,000 worth of business with Barrington-Coupe.[13]
[edit] Recordings unmasked
In February 2007 it was announced that the CDs ascribed to Hatto had been discovered to contain copies, in some cases digitally manipulated (stretched or shrunk in time, re-equalised and rebalanced), of published commercial recordings made by other artists. While some of these artists were well-known, the majority were less so. When Brian Ventura, a financial analyst from Mount Vernon, New York, put the recording of Liszt's 12 "Transcendental Études" credited to Hatto into his computer, the Gracenote database used by the iTunes software identified the disc not as a recording by Hatto but as one by László Simon. On checking online samples of the Simon recording, Ventura found it to be remarkably similar to the version credited to Hatto. He then contacted Jed Distler, a critic for http://www.classicstoday.com and Gramophone, who had praised many of the recordings ascribed to Hatto. [14]
Says Distler,
When I received Brian Ventura’s e-mail I decided to investigate further. After careful comparison of the actual Simon performances to the Hatto, it appeared to me that 10 out of 12 tracks showed remarkable similarity in terms of tempi, accents, dynamics, balances, etc. By contrast, Track Five, Feux Follets, sounded different between the two sources. I reported my findings to Mr. Ventura, and cc'd Classicstoday.com editor David Hurwitz. I also cc'd Gramophone's editor James Inverne, plus three of my Gramophone colleagues who had written about Hatto. Then I wrote Mr. Barrington-Coupe. He quickly replied, claiming not to know what had happened, and to be as puzzled as I was. At James Inverne's suggestion, Andrew Rose [of the audio-restoration business Pristine Audio] contacted me, and I uploaded three MP3s from the Hatto Liszt disc. Andrew's research[15] confirmed what my ears suspected: at least two Liszt tracks were identical between BIS and Concert Artist, while at least one was not.[16]
An identification of the source of another recording, which had been in preparation for some months,[17] was released the following day by The AHRC Research Centre for the History and Analysis of Recorded Music (CHARM), Royal Holloway, University of London[18] as a by-product of research on performances of Chopin mazurkas. [19] Within a week of the initial story being posted on the Gramophone website on 15 February, the sources for some 20 of Hatto's Concert Artist CDs had been identified.
On each of the concerto recordings published in Hatto's final years under her name, the conductor's name was given as "René Köhler". Barrington-Coupe provided a detailed biography for Köhler,[20] but there are no known photographs of him, and the Jagiellonian University of Krakow, where he was claimed to have studied, has denied that anyone of that name studied there.[4] The conductors whose work is represented on the concerto recordings credited to Hatto and Köhler are now known to include Esa-Pekka Salonen, André Previn and Bernard Haitink, while the orchestras, claimed to be the National Philharmonic-Symphony and the Warsaw Philharmonia, are now known to include the Vienna Philharmonic, The Philharmonia, and the Royal Philharmonic.
[edit] Admission of fraud
Barrington-Coupe initially denied any wrongdoing but subsequently admitted the fraud in a letter to Robert von Bahr, the head of the Swedish BIS record label that had originally issued some of the recordings plagiarized by Concert Artists. Bahr shared the contents of the letter with Gramophone magazine, which reported the confession on its website on February 26, 2007. [21] Barrington-Coupe claims that Hatto was unaware of the deception, that he acted out of love and made little money from the enterprise, and that he started out by pasting portions of other pianists' recordings into recordings made by Hatto in order to cover up her "gasps of pain". Some critics, however, have cast doubt on this version of events.[22][23] Barrington-Coupe has so far refused to help identify the sources of the recordings issued under Hatto's name, claiming that "whatever I do, it won’t be enough".[24]
The extent of Hatto's own complicity in the fraud remains unclear, in the absence of direct evidence of her personal involvement. Andrew Rose of Pristine Audio opines that "you can only conclude that she was a party to the whole thing" [25] and the arts critic Denis Dutton is emphatic that "it is a palpable absurdity to imagine she did not know."[23]
The British Phonographic Industry [BPI] has begun an investigation. If the allegations are true, it would be "one of the most extraordinary cases of piracy the record industry had ever seen", according to a BPI spokesman.[26]

[edit] Early discography
The recent release of Arnold Bax's Symphonic Variations in E Major (CACD90212), issued by the Concert Artist label, is confirmed to be a reissue of Hatto's 1970 recording with the Guildford Philharmonic conducted by Vernon Handley, originally issued on Barrington-Coupe's Revolution label.
Hatto's authentic recordings were never widespread, and as far as can be ascertained at this point, the above-mentioned work of Bax was the last to appear on LP in 1970. In the eighties, there were some more works released on tape cassettes (Grieg Piano Concerto and a number of Liszt compositions: the two Piano Concerti, Rigoletto paraphrase, Miserere del Trovatore paraphrase, Totentanz (solo piano version), Seven Hungarian Historical Portraits). The solo piano repertoire of these releases shows works Hatto played also at that period in London on various occasions at Royal Festival Hall and other venues.
Her early releases include:
- Concert Artist 7-inch EPs:
- Walter Gaze Cooper Piano Concerto #3
- Elspeth Rhys-Williams, 4 Impressions, 2 Songs
- Michael Williams Introduction & Allegro for piano & orchestra

(In Hatto's recording of Study No. 2 (second version of Op. 10, No. 1), the penultimate chord was played as if it were preceded by an F-clef (which caused it to sound as F minor rather than D-flat major), just as Carlo Grante had done in his first recording of the entire set. As strange as it could be that a pianist who had allegedly lived with these studies for decades should not eventually have corrected the misreading, the coincidence was not pursued. A comparative listening of Hatto’s recording with those by Grante and Marc-André Hamelin would rapidly have led to the conclusions made public only in early 2007. For instance, one would have noted that bar 64 of Study No. 19 (first version of Op. 10, No. 10) features the same use of the lower octave as in Grante, and that bar 130 of Study No. 33 (first version of Op. 25, No. 4) has the same textural modification in the left hand as in Hamelin (Hyperion CDA67411/2, released 2000).)
