I find the Joyce Hatto "scandal", though tragic, is in the end not very interesting, with one big exception: Hoax investigator Andrew Rose has a label called "Pristine Classics" which reissues historical recordings by the likes of Schnabel, Cortot, Fischer, Thibaud, Heifetz, Feuermann, Walter, Weingartner, the Busch quartet, etc., that can be purchased on download or CD. He claims to have a revolutionary technique to improve the old recordings, and some of the numerous demonstration audio clips he has on his web site are in fact very impressive.Has anyone bought enough of these to have an informed opinion of this label?
