Actually, MusicWeb still has a little obsession about her and the fraud.  Must have something to do with all the glorious reviews they did of those fake recordings.

Yes, you are right. It was funny but rather obvious. They did have me totally fooled last year with an apparent DGG recording of Boulez conducting Vaughan Williams Symphony 6 etc (worth searching out the review) and there was a good Karajan Walton Symphony 1 spoof review (although there is, surprisingly, a genuine Karajan recording of this work on EMI).
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).
