Great Piano Swindle
Janina Fialkowska was one of the pianists whose work was passed off as Joyce Hatto's in the biggest fraud in the history of recorded music - read more here. In 2003 her recording of Liszt's Mephisto Waltz was one of the early Hatto 'recordings' to cause a buzz. Even after the story broke, Fialkowska was unaware of her own involvement until one of the experts investigating the fraud identified her and let her know. This Canadian pianist, who had no less than Rubinstein as a mentor, has survived cancer and a rare muscle transplant procedure to resume her remarkable career. She plays Mozart, a speciality, with the RTÉ NSO on 3 December at the NCH in her Irish debut.
