Line 44:
After he was released from prison, Barrington-Coupe was reunited with Hatto. While she began to earn a modest reputation for her recitals of [[Liszt]] and [[Chopin]], Barrington-Coupe maintained a lower profile. In the 1970s, the couple disappeared from the public eye, becoming virtual recluses in their detached modern home in [[Royston, Hertfordshire]].<ref name="Royston Crow 1 March 2012">{{cite news | title= Exclusive: Husband of pianist in recording scandal speaks to The Crow |url= http://www.royston-crow.co.uk/news/exclusive_husband_of_pianist_in_recording_scandal_speaks_to_the_crow_1_1224693| last= Foskett| first= Ewan |date= 1 March 2012| newspaper= [[Royston Crow (newspaper)|The Royston Crow]] | accessdate= 16 May 2016 }}</ref>
It was not until 2002 that they were heard of again. During the previous 13 years they had apparently recorded another 103 CDs of Hatto's playing, which Barrington-Coupe began issuing on his Concert Artist label. In 2007, these CDs were found to be fraudulent copies of recordings of other artists issued by other labels.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.classicstoday.com/features/021807-joycehatto.asp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090717014944/http://www.classicstoday.com/features/021807-joycehatto.asp|url-status=dead|title=Will The Real Joyce Hatto Please Stand Up!<!-- Bot generated title -->|archive-date=17 July 2009|access-date=26 July 2020}}</ref> 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 plagiarised by Concert Artist. Bahr immediately shared the contents of the letter with ''[[Gramophone (magazine)|Gramophone]]'' magazine, telling journalist Jessica Duchen afterwards that he "had given a lot of thought" to suing Barrington-Coupe for damages, but was inclined not to do so, on the assumption that the hoax recordings were "a desperate attempt to build a shrine to a dying wife".<ref name="duchen">{{cite news |first=Jessica |last=Duchen |author-link=Jessica Duchen |title=Joyce Hatto: Notes on a scandal |url=http://www.jessicaduchen.co.uk/pdfs/indi-2007/joyce-hatto.pdf |work=The Independent, 26 February 2007 |accessdate=2012-06-10 }}</ref>
