I would just take a bunch of Joyce Hatto CDs.
That should be eclectic enough for anyone. :-)


She was the subject of a piece in "Front Row" on Radio 4 a few days ago.
Apparently, many of her recordings aren't.

There's a piece in The Gramophone about it too.

I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories, but this one is interesting.
In particular, who stood to gain from the deception given that Hatto was
hardly a household name. It might have been more believable if Hatto had
performed and the performance credited to a better known pianist, not
the other way round. Strange.
