 From the Telegaph (UK):

   CD scandal husband tells of criminal past
   
   By Martin Beckford

   The husband of the pianist at the centre of a scandal that has
   gripped the classical music world is a convicted criminal.
   
   William Barrington-Coupe, who released dozens of CDs under his
   wife's name which are now claimed by audio experts to be identical
   to earlier recordings, served eight months in jail for tax
   evasion.
   
   The 76-year-old has now stopped selling the discs he claimed
   were made by Joyce Hatto, one of Britain's greatest pianists
   when she died last year. Record companies are looking into claims
   their works were pirated.
