While it appears Ms Hatto's bereaved spouse has decided to enhance her memory by publishing the work of others as that of his wife, it is hardly new or unprecedented.

Collectors with long memories will recall RCA's series of LP's in the early fifties on the Camden label with many famous performances from other labels deliberately misrepresented or attributed to fanciful sources such as the "Warwick Symphony Orchestra"--which turned out was a performance with Walter and the VPO from the 1930's.

Many purported Furtwaengler recordings were not made by him. There are bogus Lipatti issues, counterfeit Beecham's, the list goes on.
Plus the opposite is also true. Perlman tells a story (probably a rib anyhow) of a woman who insisted he hear a tape of her son's violin playing. Perlman was stunned by the high quality fiddling and asked the woman: "Is that really your son playing"? Reply: "No, that's Jascha Heifetz, but my son sounds just like him!"
