BARRIE: Joyce wasn't
a big fan of eulogies.
2
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:18,933
She wasn't interested in
what people thought about her.
3
00:00:21,033 --> 00:00:21,967
She used to say,
4
00:00:22,067 --> 00:00:24,667
"I play the music,
and that's enough."
5
00:00:25,433 --> 00:00:26,967
But since she died,
6
00:00:27,067 --> 00:00:30,667
a huge number of people
have talked about her
7
00:00:30,767 --> 00:00:32,367
and what her music
meant to the world
8
00:00:32,467 --> 00:00:35,067
and... Sorry, Joyce.
9
00:00:36,867 --> 00:00:38,800
Just to give you
a tiny flavour...
10
00:00:40,867 --> 00:00:44,100
Radio 3 called her
musicality an inspiration.
11
00:00:46,967 --> 00:00:50,633
"A virtuoso with an awesome
pianistic technique."
12
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,533
The Independent, "I know of
no pianist in the world
13
00:00:55,633 --> 00:00:59,567
"who is her superior,
musically or technically."
14
00:00:59,667 --> 00:01:02,800
And some people have
said how sad it was
15
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:05,633
that illness cut short
her concert career
16
00:01:05,733 --> 00:01:09,067
and that
her recording success
came so late in life.
17
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:10,200
Joyce didn't say that.
18
00:01:11,300 --> 00:01:12,767
She wasn't interested
in success,
19
00:01:12,867 --> 00:01:15,633
she was only interested
in the music.
20
00:01:15,733 --> 00:01:19,433
"Joyce Hatto doesn't matter",
she would say,
21
00:01:19,533 --> 00:01:22,067
it's only the music
that matters.
22
00:01:23,133 --> 00:01:26,100
So I'm going to shut up now.
23
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,433
I can imagine Joycey
looking down saying,
"Get on with it, Barrie."
24
00:01:30,533 --> 00:01:34,500
I'll leave you with the most
important bit of Joyce.

Anyway, this time next year,
Miss Hatto,
171
00:12:35,933 --> 00:12:39,233
you can forget that bunch of
desiccated old shirt-lifters,
172
00:12:39,333 --> 00:12:41,333
because you will be
under the care
173
00:12:41,433 --> 00:12:44,767
of Barrington-Coupe
Artistes Management,
174
00:12:44,867 --> 00:12:48,433
and you will be heading
straight for the stratosphere.
175
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:52,733
-Fancy a bun?
-Oh, yes, I love buns.
176
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,400
MRS HATTO: I'm not sure you
should be signing a contract
177
00:12:57,500 --> 00:12:59,700
without showing it
to your father.
178
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,100
What does Daddy know
about artists' management?
Nothing!
179
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,833
He knows about invoices.
180
00:13:05,267 --> 00:13:06,700
Yes.
181
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,533
(STUTTERING)
This isn't an invoice,
182
00:13:08,633 --> 00:13:10,533
it's a management agreement.
183
00:13:10,633 --> 00:13:13,067
Between me and
Mr Barrington-Coupe.
184
00:13:13,167 --> 00:13:15,267
It's not an order for
two dozen coffee eclairs.
185
00:13:15,367 --> 00:13:16,967
What's he going to do,
this Barrington-Coupe,
186
00:13:17,067 --> 00:13:18,133
once you've signed it?
187
00:13:18,233 --> 00:13:19,967
-He's going to manage
my career.
-Your teaching?
188
00:13:20,067 --> 00:13:22,733
I'm not doing teaching!
How many more times...
189
00:13:23,733 --> 00:13:26,100
I mean, I might do
a bit of teaching,
190
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,467
but basically
I'll be building up
my concert profile
191
00:13:29,667 --> 00:13:31,967
and if you don't want to
witness my signature
192
00:13:32,067 --> 00:13:33,733
then I'll take it to
Barrie's office
193
00:13:33,833 --> 00:13:35,167
and get one of the girls
there to do it.
194
00:13:35,267 --> 00:13:36,633

197
00:14:03,967 --> 00:14:05,633
I was just looking for
Mr Barrington-Coupe's office
198
00:14:05,733 --> 00:14:07,367
and I only have his card
from when
he was working here.

-Barrie?
-Yes.
200

I wasn't sure where
his new offices were.
201
00:14:10,833 --> 00:14:13,767
He doesn't have
another office,
but I think he's in now.
202
00:14:13,867 --> 00:14:17,400
-He's here?
-No, he'll be on the fifth
floor. It's his late morning.

Is this where you live?
211
00:14:55,933 --> 00:14:57,100
The thing is...
212
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,267
The girl didn't seem to know
anything about a new office.
213
00:14:59,367 --> 00:15:00,833
And I thought
you lived in Henley.
214
00:15:00,933 --> 00:15:03,800
-Look, Joyce...
-No, I don't think
I will look, thank you.
215
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:05,700
Because I seem to be
looking at a liar,
216
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,567
and someone who's made
a pretty good idiot out
of me by buttering me up.
217
00:15:10,133 --> 00:15:13,067
Why did you say
you could help my career?
218
00:15:13,100 --> 00:15:14,667
What on earth did you think
you were playing at?
219
00:15:14,767 --> 00:15:16,700
Because I can
help your career.
220
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,133
Managing someone's career
is about passion and
instinct and empathy,
221
00:15:21,233 --> 00:15:22,467
and I've got all that.
222
00:15:23,433 --> 00:15:24,933

and switchboards.

-But you said you did!
-Because I will have!
225
00:15:33,267 --> 00:15:35,867
I visualise things and then
I make them happen.

I've ballsed it all up.

228
00:15:47,367 --> 00:15:49,067
And I live in one
horrible room.
229
00:15:50,767 --> 00:15:52,700
It's my mother
who lives in Henley
230
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,433
and she's not
very keen on me.
231

and I wanted to
make it work for you

ahead of myself

that I've lost you.

Do you really believe in me
as a pianist?
240

No question.

It's about the tempo
I used to play it.

Yes, it is.
688

Who is it? Please tell me
it's someone English,
689
00:52:06,467 --> 00:52:08,867
I get so tired of
those endless Koreans!
690
00:52:08,967 --> 00:52:11,100
-No. It's someone
very English.
-Good.
691
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:12,467
She's called Joyce Hatto.
692
00:52:14,767 --> 00:52:15,767
No!
693
00:52:17,233 --> 00:52:20,667
Was that one of my tapes?
Did you find the old tapes?
694
00:52:21,533 --> 00:52:23,700
Oh, it was
jolly good quality.
695
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:24,833
I thought you were up to
something!
696
00:52:24,933 --> 00:52:27,133
Did you do some
computer things to it?
697
00:52:27,233 --> 00:52:28,767
No, no. Well, I did try.
698
00:52:28,867 --> 00:52:30,267
I took them to the chap
at Wheathampstead,
699
00:52:30,367 --> 00:52:32,633
and he had a go
at cleaning them up
but they're very old.
700
00:52:32,733 --> 00:52:35,067
And they're not top quality.
I mean, they
were only for fun.
701
00:52:35,767 --> 00:52:36,733
Oh, so...
702
00:52:36,833 --> 00:52:38,567
So, I was thinking about
what we'd been saying
703
00:52:38,667 --> 00:52:40,067
about all those
Internet chappies
704
00:52:40,133 --> 00:52:41,367
wanting a bit more Hatto,
705
00:52:41,467 --> 00:52:42,700
and there ain't no
Hatto to give them.
706
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,900
So, I took another recording,
707
00:52:45,067 --> 00:52:47,600
and I followed all the
temping, the dynamics,
708
00:52:47,700 --> 00:52:49,500
and so on
from your recording,
709
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,833
and I sort of
did a new version.
710
00:52:51,933 --> 00:52:54,567
What, you took another
of my recordings?
711
00:52:54,667 --> 00:52:56,800
Well, no, because you didn't
do any other recordings.
712
00:52:56,900 --> 00:52:58,800
I found one that was
most like yours
713
00:52:58,900 --> 00:53:01,800
and I stuck to your score
markings and I sort of...
714
00:53:02,433 --> 00:53:04,133
Hattoised it.
715
00:53:04,233 --> 00:53:06,533
So what you just played...
716
00:53:07,067 --> 00:53:08,400
...it's not me?
717
00:53:08,500 --> 00:53:10,533
Well, in a musical
sense it's you.
718
00:53:10,633 --> 00:53:12,367
Yes, but in any sense
that anyone else
719
00:53:12,467 --> 00:53:13,967
would recognise it's not!
720
00:53:19,700 --> 00:53:22,400
You are quite astounding!
721
00:53:22,500 --> 00:53:23,833
Oh, get off your high horse.
722
00:53:26,333 --> 00:53:28,367
You can't play.
723
00:53:28,467 --> 00:53:32,067
You've got one brilliant
recording out there and
everyone's itching for more.
724

And you like to read about
yourself on the Internet.

I just thought I'd do
something that
would cheer you up.
726
00:53:42,267 --> 00:53:44,533
All modern recordings are
put together note by note.
727
00:53:44,633 --> 00:53:47,900
So, what I was doing,
I didn't think was so bad,
or so different.
728
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:53,933
But, of course,
in Joyce world,
729
00:53:54,067 --> 00:53:56,433
Barrie is always
in the wrong,
730
00:53:56,533 --> 00:53:58,833
because he can't be as clever,
731
00:53:58,933 --> 00:54:00,600
or as right, or as good,
732
00:54:01,367 --> 00:54:02,967
or as wronged as Joyce.

You know
you're quite right
about modern recordings.
740
00:54:57,933 --> 00:55:00,567
People today don't even
have to play the right notes.
741
00:55:00,667 --> 00:55:02,800
I mean, technicians
do all that afterwards,
don't they?
742

sky's the limit.

where you had to struggle,
745
00:55:12,867 --> 00:55:14,867
to get through it
without a mistake.

751
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,133
But thanks to the old lurgy,
I can't play like I used to,
I haven't got the feeling.

interpretative as you like,

finger ends you might as well
be playing with mittens.

As you say, there we are.

00:55:42,767 --> 00:55:46,267

made a recording and
I thought it was me.

Well, if you thought
it was you,

think how many other people
would think it was you.

the bucket to kick it.

And although I loved
the delicacy of the Ashkenazy,
799
00:58:49,267 --> 00:58:50,700
it didn't quite have
the verve.
800

And, well, just the sheer
sparkle of the Hatto.

for Building a Library.

That's Joyce Hatto,
Chopin Complete Etudes
808
00:59:11,300 --> 00:59:14,900
and that's on the

might have your own

The fact that it took
40 years to get
Joyce Hatto on to the BBC.
828

order more Hatto discs,

whether you had any
way of contacting her

in talking to her for a piece

01:01:02,900 --> 01:01:07,633
Oh. Well, you are
actually speaking to her.
843
01:01:07,733 --> 01:01:11,833
One doesn't really expect
a concert pianist to
answer the phone.
844
01:01:11,933 --> 01:01:15,067
I don't know if you heard
my review this morning?
845
01:01:15,100 --> 01:01:19,100
Uh, no. I was playing
the piano, I'm afraid.
I forgot to tune in.
846
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:22,600
My husband says
that I'm ridiculously
non-publicity-minded,
847
01:01:22,700 --> 01:01:24,733
very behind
the times in that way.
848
01:01:24,833 --> 01:01:26,933
I hope you were kind to me?
849
01:01:34,100 --> 01:01:35,567
(DOOR CLOSES)
850
01:01:35,667 --> 01:01:39,067
Ducky? Do I smell baking?
851
01:01:41,067 --> 01:01:43,433
Buns? This is a turn up.
852
01:01:43,533 --> 01:01:46,700
-I've had a gentleman caller.
-Oh, yes?
853
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:51,267
Well, telephonic caller,
because you didn't put
the answer phone on.
854
01:01:51,367 --> 01:01:52,633
Darn it. Sorry.
855
01:01:52,733 --> 01:01:55,067
When I picked up, who should
it be but the gentleman
856
01:01:55,100 --> 01:01:57,333
who was so enamoured of
the Hatto Chopin Etudes
857
01:01:57,433 --> 01:01:59,700
-on the wireless this morning.
-Oh, Philip thingy.
858
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:04,167
And he was very delighted
to find that he was talking
to the lady herself.
859
01:02:04,267 --> 01:02:07,200
-I bet he was.
-And we had a very
nice chat about Chopin,
860
01:02:07,300 --> 01:02:10,067
and the Liszt
Transcendental Etudes,
and Godowskys,
861
01:02:10,100 --> 01:02:12,967
and all sorts of things.
And it rather lifted my
spirits and I thought,
862
01:02:13,067 --> 01:02:16,233
we shall have buns.
Buns is what we shall have.
863
01:02:16,333 --> 01:02:20,100
Jolly good. He phoned
Concert Artists, did he?
864
01:02:21,133 --> 01:02:23,067
He's doing a piece
for the Gramophone
865
01:02:23,133 --> 01:02:24,600
and he wants to talk to me.
866
01:02:26,767 --> 01:02:28,267
About what, though, Ducky?
867
01:02:28,367 --> 01:02:29,967
About my recording techniques.
868
01:02:32,733 --> 01:02:36,600
-Well, that's going to be
a bit awkward, isn't it?
-Why?
869
01:02:36,700 --> 01:02:38,933
You don't have
a recording technique.
870
01:02:39,067 --> 01:02:42,500
No, but I can tell him
how I play the pieces
871
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:44,633
and how I tackle
a new piece.
872
01:02:44,733 --> 01:02:46,467
Yes, I suppose so. But...
873
01:02:47,433 --> 01:02:50,067
Well, when he rings,
Joyce, keep it vague.
874
01:02:50,167 --> 01:02:52,433
You can talk about how
you feel about the music,
875
01:02:52,533 --> 01:02:53,900
but we don't want to get
into the nuts and bolts
876
01:02:54,067 --> 01:02:55,467
of where we record
the blessed things.
877
01:02:55,567 --> 01:02:58,900
He's not ringing.
He's taking us out
for lunch in Cambridge.
878
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:01,167
Are you potty?
879
01:03:01,267 --> 01:03:02,533
No. I'm not potty.
880
01:03:03,833 --> 01:03:06,067
He's got a lot of my CDs.
881
01:03:06,133 --> 01:03:09,333
And in fact, he was calling
to order some more,
it's all on the pad.
882
01:03:09,433 --> 01:03:13,733
Joyce, selling online,
getting reviews online,
883
01:03:13,833 --> 01:03:16,567
chaps talking about you
on the radio, that's all fine.
884
01:03:16,667 --> 01:03:19,467
But you can't sit down with
a journalist, face-to-face
885
01:03:19,567 --> 01:03:21,400
and talk about how we make
these records.
886
01:03:21,500 --> 01:03:24,200
-Why?
-Because we didn't make them.
887
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,167
Think, sweetie. I mean,
yes, they sound like you,
but they're not you.
888
01:03:29,267 --> 01:03:33,067
-Joyce, trust me,
this is a bad idea.
-(JOYCE SCOFFS)
889
01:03:33,100 --> 01:03:36,233
Trust you? I remember
trying that a long time ago,
890
01:03:36,333 --> 01:03:38,067
so, I'm very much
once bitten there.
891
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,100
Oh, don't worry,
I'll call him back.
892

(SIGHS)
893
01:03:43,100 --> 01:03:45,233
I'll explain that
I'm not able to have
894
01:03:45,333 --> 01:03:48,667
a nice lunch with an
intelligent, cultured
music critic,
895
01:03:48,767 --> 01:03:54,100
because my husband
has a very limited view
of my capabilities
896
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,900
and would rather I stayed
at home with nothing else
to think about
897
01:03:57,067 --> 01:03:58,700
but how long
I've got to live!
898
01:04:01,900 --> 01:04:02,900
(CLATTERING)
899
01:04:12,500 --> 01:04:13,700
Not too mutton?
900
01:04:14,667 --> 01:04:15,833
Not mutton at all.
901
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:18,400
There you go.
902
01:04:19,367 --> 01:04:20,567
Merci.
903
01:04:22,067 --> 01:04:23,433
-Hair?
-Luxuriant.
904
01:04:23,533 --> 01:04:26,700
-Hmm.
-I wasn't trying to
spoil your fun, Ducky,
905
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,767
putting the kibosh
on meeting Philip.
906
01:04:28,867 --> 01:04:32,667
I just thought, we're safer
flying under the radar.
907
01:04:32,767 --> 01:04:35,500
I just fancied flying
a little higher.
908
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,100
Fly too high,
your wings fall off.
909
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:40,733
My wings aren't going
to last me much longer
anyway, are they?
910
01:04:40,833 --> 01:04:43,567
Get your skates on,
the train waits
for no man.
911
01:04:44,300 --> 01:04:45,467
BOTH: Bags I forward.
912
01:04:46,333 --> 01:04:47,767
I said it first.
913
01:04:48,900 --> 01:04:50,800
Come on then,
Mrs Barrington-Coupe,
914
01:04:50,900 --> 01:04:52,833
let's take Joyce Hatto
out to lunch.
915
01:04:56,067 --> 01:04:57,900
PHILIP: Thank you.
916
01:04:58,067 --> 01:05:01,767
So, basically, Joyce, since
you gave up live performance,
917
01:05:01,867 --> 01:05:03,400
you've just been
working away,
918
01:05:03,500 --> 01:05:04,867
and then when you
feel a piece is ready,
919
01:05:04,967 --> 01:05:06,333
you record it.
920
01:05:06,433 --> 01:05:09,833
So, what do you do?
Just book a studio?
921
01:05:09,933 --> 01:05:11,967
Well, I leave
all that to Barrie.
922
01:05:12,067 --> 01:05:13,967
I say my job is to
make the bread
923
01:05:14,067 --> 01:05:16,233
and Barrie has to
put it in the oven.
924
01:05:16,333 --> 01:05:18,200
Yes, Joyce always
says working on a piece
925
01:05:18,300 --> 01:05:21,100
is like making a loaf of
bread. You know, first
you have to work it...
926
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:25,800
Yes, you work it,
and you knead it,
and then you leave it to rise.
927
01:05:25,900 --> 01:05:27,633
You have to let it become
what it wants to be.
928
01:05:27,733 --> 01:05:29,467
Yeah, and once it's recorded,
929
01:05:29,567 --> 01:05:30,667
Joyce never listens
to it again.
930
01:05:30,767 --> 01:05:32,567
-Really?
-BARRIE: Not interested.
931
01:05:32,667 --> 01:05:36,133
No, not interested.
I don't do retakes or
whatever they're called.
932
01:05:36,233 --> 01:05:37,567
I record it, I go home
933
01:05:37,667 --> 01:05:39,500
and what people want to
make of it is up to them.
934
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:40,667
It's none of my business.
935
01:05:40,767 --> 01:05:42,933
So, not much editing
time, then, Barrie?
936
01:05:43,067 --> 01:05:46,167
Yes, as far as recording goes,
Joyce is a very cheap date.
937
01:05:46,267 --> 01:05:48,600
(GIGGLING)
938
01:05:48,700 --> 01:05:54,067
When Barrie and I met,
I was giving a concert
at the Strathmore
939
01:05:54,100 --> 01:05:55,800
and he was a little bit
bowled over, weren't you?
940
01:05:55,900 --> 01:05:58,067
-(LAUGHS)
-And he took me for
a cup of tea and he said,
941
01:05:58,100 --> 01:05:59,433
"Would you like
a cup or a mug?"
942
01:05:59,533 --> 01:06:01,867
Well, I was desperate
for a mug but I thought
it wasn't very ladylike,
943
01:06:01,967 --> 01:06:03,900
-so I'll have a cup,
thank you very much.
-A cup was threepence.
944
01:06:04,067 --> 01:06:05,400
-And a mug was five pence.
-(GIGGLES)
945
01:06:05,500 --> 01:06:08,167
So that made me a cheap
date in Barrie's eyes.
946
01:06:08,267 --> 01:06:09,667
(ALL LAUGHING)
947
01:06:11,267 --> 01:06:12,667
Tired, sweetie?
948
01:06:12,767 --> 01:06:15,167
Do you know,
I'm absolutely not.
949
01:06:15,267 --> 01:06:18,633
Wasn't it lovely talking
about music to someone
who knew about it?
950
01:06:20,733 --> 01:06:23,400
While you were in the
ladies', he said he was
going to email me
951
01:06:23,500 --> 01:06:25,600
to get some facts straight.
952
01:06:25,700 --> 01:06:27,733
We can cobble
something together.
953
01:06:27,833 --> 01:06:30,100
At least on the email
you've got thinking time.
954
01:06:31,500 --> 01:06:33,133
I thought we did very
well with our ducking
955
01:06:33,233 --> 01:06:34,567
and diving over lunch.
956
01:06:34,667 --> 01:06:36,233
Oh, and while you
were in the gents',
957
01:06:36,333 --> 01:06:38,733
I told him I was working
on the Godowskys.
958
01:06:38,833 --> 01:06:40,900
You didn't say you
were bringing them out?
959
01:06:41,067 --> 01:06:42,633
I think I may have done.
960
01:06:42,733 --> 01:06:44,067
You don't make
life easy, Ducky.
961
01:06:44,167 --> 01:06:46,667
You know, there are only about
three versions to choose from.
962
01:06:49,567 --> 01:06:51,233
Did you set the video
for Monkey World?
963
01:06:51,333 --> 01:06:52,333
I did.
964
01:06:52,433 --> 01:06:53,967
End of a perfect day.
965
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,067
PHILIP: Where do you
usually do these recordings?
966
01:07:00,167 --> 01:07:02,067
BARRIE: Well, you use
a studio one year
967
01:07:02,100 --> 01:07:03,767
and the next
it's a blooming
coffee shop.
968
01:07:03,867 --> 01:07:05,300
JOYCE: Or one of
those tanning places.
969
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,633
We have one of those down
the road, don't we, Barrie?
970
01:07:07,733 --> 01:07:09,567
And if you can believe this,
you have to stand up.
971
01:07:09,667 --> 01:07:12,333
-I mean, it's umpetty pounds
and you can't even lie down.
-(PHONE RINGS)
972

(JOYCE LAUGHS)
973
01:07:14,267 --> 01:07:15,767
-Larry.
-LARRY: How are you?
974
01:07:15,867 --> 01:07:19,667
I'm good. I'm doing
a big piece on this
woman, Joyce Hatto.
975
01:07:19,767 --> 01:07:23,233
Yeah, I'm just reading
about her, I might do
a piece myself.
976
01:07:23,333 --> 01:07:26,800
Yes, well, you know,
the Gramophone
found her first.
977
01:07:26,900 --> 01:07:29,200
Is she for real?
It's a heck of an output.
978
01:07:29,300 --> 01:07:32,733
No, I know,
she does everything. Bach,
Messiaen, Gershwin...
979
01:07:32,833 --> 01:07:34,067
It's remarkable.
980
01:07:34,100 --> 01:07:36,600
It's like listening to about
eight different pianists.
981
01:07:36,700 --> 01:07:39,800
Her illness has brought
a depth and gravitas
to her playing.
982
01:07:41,233 --> 01:07:44,700
Someone here thinks
she's more
than one person.
983
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,367
Is she?
More than one person?
984
01:07:48,467 --> 01:07:49,767
People are
so bloody cynical.
985
01:07:49,867 --> 01:07:52,633
She's old, she's ill and
she's good. End of story.
986
01:07:52,733 --> 01:07:55,133
I've got to go, Larry,
I'll ring you back.
987
01:07:55,767 --> 01:07:56,767
Joyce Hatto?
988
01:07:57,833 --> 01:08:00,067
Yes, I need to
talk to her again.
989
01:08:00,133 --> 01:08:03,067
I've had a call from
someone who knew
her husband years ago.
990
01:08:03,133 --> 01:08:04,633
Really?
991
01:08:04,733 --> 01:08:08,367
Well, he just said the husband
doesn't have the most
blameless career path.
992
01:08:08,467 --> 01:08:11,233
Well, he's a harmless
old beggar now.
I mean, I've met him.
993
01:08:11,333 --> 01:08:13,633
Well, this person,
someone we both know,
994
01:08:13,733 --> 01:08:15,967
said he heard Joyce Hatto
play in the '60s sometime.
995
01:08:16,067 --> 01:08:17,633
I think at the Festival Hall.
996
01:08:17,733 --> 01:08:19,600
And she did fistfuls
of wrong notes
997
01:08:19,700 --> 01:08:21,900
and then practically
conked out
at the keyboard.
998
01:08:22,067 --> 01:08:25,433
Well, I don't see what
that's got to do with
her recording career.
999
01:08:25,533 --> 01:08:29,200
No, but do check
all the facts, won't you?
1000
01:08:29,300 --> 01:08:31,100
-Of course.
-Now I know you will.
1001
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:35,167
I mean, 40 years
down the line,
she's obviously improved.
1002
01:08:35,267 --> 01:08:36,400
Yes.
1003
01:08:36,500 --> 01:08:37,900
Hope for us all.
1004
01:08:40,300 --> 01:08:42,533
BARRIE: Aha! Hot-air balloon.
1005
01:08:44,900 --> 01:08:47,667
You don't want to
drop the piece in the
Gramophone, do you?
1006
01:08:47,767 --> 01:08:49,700
It seems to have turned
into quite a big thing.
1007
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:53,333
No. I think Mr Hill's going to
make a jolly good fist of it.
1008
01:08:53,433 --> 01:08:56,500
Bah, I thought that was
bulrushes, and it ain't.
1009
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:58,233
It could be
reflected bulrushes.
1010
01:08:58,333 --> 01:09:00,333
Oh, he's not as dumb
as he looks.
1011
01:09:00,433 --> 01:09:03,067
Why are you saying drop it?
1012
01:09:03,133 --> 01:09:05,900
There was an answer
phone message from Philip.
Fact checking.
1013
01:09:06,067 --> 01:09:09,067
Said he couldn't find
anything on Rene Kohler,
your esteemed conductor.
1014
01:09:09,167 --> 01:09:11,833
(GIGGLES) Not surprising,
seeing as he doesn't exist.
1015
01:09:11,933 --> 01:09:14,267
I don't really want to
call him about it
as he will, no doubt,
1016
01:09:14,367 --> 01:09:16,067
have many more
awkward questions.
1017
01:09:16,100 --> 01:09:18,800
Oh! Got the top of the lupin.
1018
01:09:18,900 --> 01:09:21,667
I could pop a little biog
on the Internet, I suppose.
1019
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,767
Poor Rene,
obviously a foreigner.
1020
01:09:25,867 --> 01:09:28,967
So, just fit in there,
thank you.
1021
01:09:29,067 --> 01:09:32,667
I think he may have
trained in Dresden.
1022
01:09:32,767 --> 01:09:35,133
Somewhere sadly
flattened by bombs.
1023
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:51,633
(BEEPING)
1024
01:10:14,167 --> 01:10:15,533
(DIALLING)
1025
01:10:21,867 --> 01:10:24,167
Philip, it's Larry.
Can you call me back?
1026
01:10:25,700 --> 01:10:27,900
Some more
Joyce Hatto weirdness.
1027
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:32,333
PHILIP: And how is Joyce?
1028
01:10:32,433 --> 01:10:35,233
Well, yeah, cancer
isn't a barrel of laughs,
as you know.
1029
01:10:35,333 --> 01:10:37,333
We're keeping our
peckers up pretty well.
1030
01:10:37,433 --> 01:10:38,967
Having something
to look forward to,
1031
01:10:39,067 --> 01:10:41,900
like your piece in
the Gramophone.
1032
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,367
That's as good as
buns to Joyce, that is.
1033
01:10:44,467 --> 01:10:47,000
Right. Now, we have
a slight problem.
1034
01:10:47,100 --> 01:10:48,800
I believe the Gramophone
still hasn't received
1035
01:10:48,900 --> 01:10:50,733
the information
they've asked you for.
1036
01:10:50,833 --> 01:10:52,100
That's very odd.
1037
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:55,667
That was all sent in the
post many moons ago.
I'll track it down.
1038
01:10:55,767 --> 01:10:57,567
Although, it will involve
talking to someone
1039
01:10:57,667 --> 01:10:59,567
in Bangalore with a slim
grasp of the language.
1040
01:10:59,667 --> 01:11:01,500
-(LAUGHS)
-But no, there's
something else, Barrie.
1041
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:03,500
A friend of mine
in New York, you see,
1042
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,100
he ordered Joyce's
Transcendental Etudes.
1043
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:07,700
Now he put it into iTunes,
1044
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,567
the database recognised it
as the Etudes,
1045
01:11:10,667 --> 01:11:12,700
but, well, it came up
with a different name.
1046
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:16,100
Well, that doesn't
surprise me. We've had
Joyce Natto, Hitto...
1047
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:20,833
No, no, no, it came up
with the name of another
pianist, Laszlo Simon.
1048
01:11:20,933 --> 01:11:22,867
Well, there's no logic
with these computers.
1049
01:11:22,967 --> 01:11:26,633
Look, Barrie, people
are asking questions
about Joyce's output,
1050
01:11:26,733 --> 01:11:28,933
questioning the names
of the orchestras.
1051
01:11:29,067 --> 01:11:32,133
-Now, you've seen all
the online traffic, I know...
-Philip...
1052
01:11:32,233 --> 01:11:35,500
I beg you, do not say
anything of this to Joyce.
1053
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,700
And I can't
discuss it now.
1054
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,133
But I need every little
bit of spirit that
I can muster
1055
01:11:40,233 --> 01:11:44,533
to go in there and be
the person I need to be
for my darling wife.
1056
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:47,833
I won't have her
for long, Philip.
1057
01:11:47,933 --> 01:11:50,100
So I want us to go
in there, both of us,
1058
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:51,467
with big smiles
on our faces,
1059
01:11:51,567 --> 01:11:54,067
because Joyce
is very sensitive.
1060
01:11:54,567 --> 01:11:56,267
Your championing of her
1061
01:11:56,367 --> 01:11:58,433
and the prospect
of the piece
in the Gramophone
1062
01:11:58,533 --> 01:12:01,600
are literally what's keeping
her going right now.
1063
01:12:01,700 --> 01:12:03,667
Can we carry on
this conversation later?
1064
01:12:03,767 --> 01:12:05,633
Oh, yes.
We must, we must.
1065
01:12:05,733 --> 01:12:09,100
This Laszlo Simon snafu,
I'm as baffled as you are
1066
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:11,933
and I certainly don't
want him getting all
of Joyce's royalties.
1067
01:12:12,067 --> 01:12:13,100
(LAUGHS)
1068
01:12:18,500 --> 01:12:20,067
Barrie was very
good-looking.
1069
01:12:21,233 --> 01:12:26,767
Yes, and not quite as
confident as he looks there.
1070
01:12:26,867 --> 01:12:28,167
Really?
1071
01:12:28,267 --> 01:12:31,700
He had a certain air
which was misleading,
as it turned out.
1072
01:12:34,333 --> 01:12:36,067
We were both vulnerable,
I suppose.
1073
01:12:38,633 --> 01:12:40,567
Vulnerable people can
protect each other.
1074
01:12:41,067 --> 01:12:42,933
Oh, they can.
1075
01:12:43,067 --> 01:12:44,967
Or they can double
their weaknesses.
1076
01:12:45,067 --> 01:12:47,967
But that's the gamble
in a marriage, isn't it?
1077
01:12:49,833 --> 01:12:53,067
Now, do have some
of Barrie's Swiss roll,
baked in your honour,
1078
01:12:53,133 --> 01:12:56,300
and you can use
any of the photos
you like for your piece.
1079
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:57,833
PHILIP: Oh, thank you.
1080
01:12:59,767 --> 01:13:03,067
Could I just ask you
about your recording
1081
01:13:03,100 --> 01:13:04,667
of the Transcendental Etudes?
1082
01:13:06,500 --> 01:13:07,700
Of course.
1083
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:09,900
Where did you
record them?
1084
01:13:15,067 --> 01:13:16,067
Well...
1085
01:13:18,333 --> 01:13:20,767
We did them
in a tiny studio
in Cambridge
1086
01:13:20,867 --> 01:13:24,400
and I was very tired when
I went in to play them.
1087
01:13:25,100 --> 01:13:26,733
But if you've done the work,
1088
01:13:26,833 --> 01:13:28,433
then somehow...
1089
01:13:29,500 --> 01:13:33,467
The music can take over
and it did take over.
1090
01:13:33,567 --> 01:13:36,200
I almost didn't need
to do anything.
1091
01:13:38,167 --> 01:13:42,167
And when I finished
playing the last piece...
1092
01:13:45,067 --> 01:13:46,067
There was just...
1093
01:13:49,067 --> 01:13:50,067
Silence.
1094
01:13:53,300 --> 01:13:57,167
And all the technical people
on the other side
of the glass...
1095
01:14:00,267 --> 01:14:01,267
Just...
1096
01:14:02,667 --> 01:14:03,700
Still.
1097
01:14:09,867 --> 01:14:10,867
Hmm.
1098
01:14:12,367 --> 01:14:16,833
Now, I have a little
parting gift for you.
1099
01:14:16,933 --> 01:14:20,067
I don't imagine
we'll be meeting again,
1100
01:14:20,133 --> 01:14:23,500
if I can contradict
dear old Vera Lynn.
1101
01:14:33,500 --> 01:14:36,800
Ah! Never gave you
my famous marmalade.
1102
01:14:36,900 --> 01:14:40,100
Ah, that's fine. I... I had
my present from Joyce.
1103
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:41,233
What was that?
1104
01:14:41,333 --> 01:14:43,500
She gave me a test copy
of the Godowsky.
1105
01:14:44,333 --> 01:14:45,667
Did she?
1106
01:14:45,767 --> 01:14:48,067
I hadn't realised
she'd been well enough
to record them.
1107
01:14:48,133 --> 01:14:49,700
Look, it's not
one of her best.
1108
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:52,867
Well, she hasn't heard it,
of course, but it's not
one of the finest.
1109
01:14:52,967 --> 01:14:54,067
I won't release it.
1110
01:14:55,333 --> 01:14:58,733
As a courtesy to me,
Philip, don't play it.
1111
01:15:00,133 --> 01:15:02,167
Look, Barrie, the editor
of the Gramophone
1112
01:15:02,267 --> 01:15:05,800
wants to get
the Hatto Etudes compared
with the Laszlo Simon.
1113
01:15:05,900 --> 01:15:08,700
A proper digital comparison
by an independent source.
1114
01:15:10,067 --> 01:15:11,833
Now, can you tell me
if you think that will
show up
1115
01:15:11,933 --> 01:15:14,900
any problem as far as
Joyce's recording
is concerned?
1116
01:15:15,067 --> 01:15:17,633
-No, I'm sure it won't.
-So I can tell him
to go ahead.
1117
01:15:17,733 --> 01:15:19,467
You fully accept
the consequences?
1118
01:15:19,567 --> 01:15:23,933
Absolutely. I'm pretty
tired of all this carping.
1119
01:15:24,067 --> 01:15:27,533
I see all this bumf
the classical music buffs
put on the Internet.
1120
01:15:27,633 --> 01:15:31,233
(CHUCKLES) Well, if they
think an F sharp that Joyce
played last Wednesday
1121
01:15:31,333 --> 01:15:34,933
sounds like a B flat
Martha Argerich played
20 years ago,
1122
01:15:35,067 --> 01:15:36,267
then quite frankly, (LAUGHS)
1123
01:15:36,367 --> 01:15:38,867
to use an expression
Joyce hates,
which I rather like,
1124
01:15:39,567 --> 01:15:40,900
they need to get a life.
1125
01:15:41,067 --> 01:15:42,400
(LAUGHS)
1126
01:15:54,633 --> 01:15:57,500
Now, this isn't
just chocolate.
1127
01:15:57,600 --> 01:15:59,767
This is Belgian chocolate.
1128
01:15:59,867 --> 01:16:01,100
Mmm, lovely.
1129
01:16:03,067 --> 01:16:05,367
Philip get off all right?
1130
01:16:05,467 --> 01:16:07,167
He said you gave
him the Godowsky.
1131
01:16:08,233 --> 01:16:09,433
Yes.
1132
01:16:10,067 --> 01:16:11,767
Was I a naughty Hatto?
1133
01:16:11,867 --> 01:16:12,900
No harm done.
1134
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:19,167
I forgot to ask him when
the piece was coming out.
1135
01:16:19,267 --> 01:16:20,467
It's coming out
quite soon.
1136
01:16:22,900 --> 01:16:25,633
There hasn't been any
more stuff on the Internet?
1137
01:16:27,067 --> 01:16:29,233
I thought Philip
seemed a little distant.
1138
01:16:29,333 --> 01:16:30,933
No. That's all died down.
1139
01:16:32,067 --> 01:16:33,067
Eat up, Ducky.
1140
01:16:34,500 --> 01:16:36,633
It wasn't so wrong
to do, was it?
1141
01:16:37,267 --> 01:16:38,533
No.
1142
01:16:38,633 --> 01:16:39,633
If things had been different,
1143
01:16:39,733 --> 01:16:41,400
you'd have been
selling them all along.
1144
01:16:42,367 --> 01:16:44,100
Because I could play,
couldn't I?
1145
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:45,800
Oh, I'll say.
1146
01:16:45,900 --> 01:16:46,933
I knew that from
the day you had them
1147
01:16:47,067 --> 01:16:49,100
standing in the aisles
at the Strathmore.
1148
01:16:50,833 --> 01:16:53,133
Typical Barrie exaggeration.
1149
01:16:55,100 --> 01:16:58,367
Just you and Miss Guisely.
1150
01:16:58,467 --> 01:17:00,233
Enhancement.
1151
01:17:00,333 --> 01:17:01,667
Like the recordings.
1152
01:17:02,567 --> 01:17:04,567
No harm done.
1153
01:17:04,667 --> 01:17:08,633
Hertfordshire's
Bonnie and Clyde.
1154
01:17:08,733 --> 01:17:10,767
We shan't die in a hail
of bullets, hopefully.
1155
01:17:15,500 --> 01:17:16,967
You'll manage, will you?
1156
01:17:24,367 --> 01:17:25,767
Looking forward to it, Ducky.
1157
01:17:26,967 --> 01:17:29,100
Fill the place
with dancing girls.
1158
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:30,867
Hmm.
1159
01:17:32,433 --> 01:17:33,600
You sure?
1160
01:17:35,300 --> 01:17:36,500
Go on.
1161
01:17:37,900 --> 01:17:39,067
Shame to waste it.
1162
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,100
Don't you know
there's a war on?
1163
01:17:42,867 --> 01:17:44,067
(CHUCKLING)
1164
01:17:56,833 --> 01:17:58,633
WOMAN ON TV:
And in a change to our
advertised programme,
1165
01:17:58,733 --> 01:18:02,400
there will now be
a tribute to the acclaimed
pianist, Joyce Hatto,
1166
01:18:02,500 --> 01:18:04,333
whose death was
announced yesterday.
1167
01:18:04,433 --> 01:18:07,967
Joyce Hatto had
renaissance in the last
few years of her life.
1168
01:18:08,067 --> 01:18:11,133
When unable to
perform in concert
because of illness,
1169
01:18:11,233 --> 01:18:13,267
she concentrated
on recording.
1170
01:18:13,367 --> 01:18:15,167
Many tributes
have been paid...
1171
01:18:47,067 --> 01:18:48,167
Got away with it, Ducky.
1172
01:18:51,433 --> 01:18:53,067
JAMES: The top one's
the Laszlo Simon
1173
01:18:53,133 --> 01:18:54,600
and the bottom one's Hatto.
1174
01:18:54,700 --> 01:18:56,133
They're identical.
1175
01:18:56,233 --> 01:18:58,800
And that can't happen
unless one's been
copied from the other.
1176
01:18:59,900 --> 01:19:02,667
Now, here's the Rachmaninov
second and third.
1177
01:19:02,767 --> 01:19:05,400
That's Joyce on the top
and that's Yefim Bronfman
on the bottom.
1178
01:19:05,500 --> 01:19:08,967
They're slightly different
because they've taken his
and speeded it up
1179
01:19:09,067 --> 01:19:10,633
and then pitch corrected.
1180
01:19:10,733 --> 01:19:12,467
So you'll go ahead
with the story?
1181
01:19:12,567 --> 01:19:14,167
We need to find
one more fake
1182
01:19:14,267 --> 01:19:15,700
to put me
in the clear legally.
1183
01:19:17,067 --> 01:19:20,200
Look, he...
He might just talk to me.
1184
01:19:20,300 --> 01:19:23,367
Sure. I mean,
it's sad, isn't it?
1185
01:19:23,467 --> 01:19:25,500
I'm not trying to crush
the poor old bugger.
1186
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:28,200
If he tells us the truth,
I'll print it and
if he doesn't,
1187
01:19:29,067 --> 01:19:30,200
he's had it.
1188
01:19:30,300 --> 01:19:32,900
I'm sorry
the Gramophone has got
its knickers in a twist,
1189
01:19:33,067 --> 01:19:36,067
but from our end,
there is no story.
1190
01:19:36,100 --> 01:19:39,733
(SIGHS) It's Joyce on
the box and it's Joyce
on the recording.
1191
01:19:39,833 --> 01:19:42,933
So, the two they've found
are sheer coincidence?
1192
01:19:43,067 --> 01:19:44,767
-All the others are genuine?
-Absolutely.
1193
01:19:44,867 --> 01:19:47,500
-What about the Godowsky?
-We didn't release
the Godowsky.
1194
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:50,500
I told you, Joyce wasn't
up to scratch on it.
1195
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:53,533
JAMES: The Godowsky was
clever because it was nicked
from three pianists
1196
01:19:53,633 --> 01:19:55,433
and it was speeded up.
1197
01:19:55,533 --> 01:19:57,167
So, you could've played it
to Marc-Andre Hamelin
1198
01:19:57,267 --> 01:20:00,233
and he wouldn't
have had a clue he was
listening to himself.
1199
01:20:00,333 --> 01:20:01,867
I mean,
it was brilliant, really.
1200
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:06,133
Right, that's going online.
1201
01:20:07,567 --> 01:20:09,800
And once the red tops
get hold of it...
1202
01:20:10,900 --> 01:20:12,600
Heaven help Barrie.
1203
01:20:12,700 --> 01:20:14,533
MAN ON TV: So far
the husband of Joyce Hatto
1204
01:20:14,633 --> 01:20:17,500
is not, as far as I know,
coming forward with
his side of the story.
1205
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:21,300
But if it does turn out
that some or all of
Joyce Hatto's recordings
1206
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:24,800
are from other sources,
that really will be
very sad indeed.
1207
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:28,867
Mr Coupe.
1208
01:20:29,500 --> 01:20:30,733
Mr Coupe.
1209

Look, this is vile.
1210
01:20:35,333 --> 01:20:38,400
My father-in-law had
cancer. It makes people
absolutely desperate.
1211
01:20:41,767 --> 01:20:45,233
That's what we'll pay for
an exclusive. Just call me.
1212
01:20:45,333 --> 01:20:46,833
Then you can
get rid of this lot.
1213
01:20:48,167 --> 01:20:52,033
It's desperately sad,
and we want people
to see your side.
1214
01:20:52,133 --> 01:20:53,700
Nobody will think
the worse of you.
1215
01:20:56,100 --> 01:20:57,167
Mr Coupe?
1216
01:21:06,233 --> 01:21:09,167
You dumb cluck,
we're cooking for one,
aren't we?
1217
01:21:18,233 --> 01:21:20,967
Well, we could have
predicted it ending
like this, couldn't we?
1218
01:21:21,067 --> 01:21:22,767
Typical Barriean muddle.
1219
01:21:22,867 --> 01:21:25,633
I'm trying to think
if anything you ever did
came right.
1220
01:21:25,733 --> 01:21:27,833
No answer came then, none.
1221
01:21:27,933 --> 01:21:29,967
I hope you're not
going to say I had
anything to do with this.
1222
01:21:30,067 --> 01:21:33,833
No, we can't have Joyce's
name dragged through
the mud, can we?
1223
01:21:33,933 --> 01:21:35,133
No, that's right.
1224
01:21:35,233 --> 01:21:37,300
Because what you
have to remember
is that all the things
1225
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:39,300
that happened to me
were your fault.
1226
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:42,067
Because nothing is ever
Joyce's fault, is it?
1227
01:21:42,900 --> 01:21:43,867
No.
1228
01:21:43,967 --> 01:21:46,133
Joyce mucks up her
audition for the BBC.
1229
01:21:46,233 --> 01:21:48,600
Is that Joyce's fault?
No, that was Barrie's fault.
1230
01:21:48,700 --> 01:21:51,100
He made her nervous.
He was too jolly,
1231
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:54,833
or he was too encouraging
or he wasn't
encouraging enough.
1232
01:21:54,933 --> 01:21:57,567
Joyce has a miscarriage,
not usually anyone's fault
1233
01:21:57,667 --> 01:21:59,900
but in this case,
it was Barrie's fault.
1234
01:22:00,067 --> 01:22:02,500
Oh, and then, of course,
Barrie went to prison.
1235
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:04,600
(GASPS)
Did he murder someone?
1236
01:22:04,700 --> 01:22:07,200
Did he hit an old lady
on the head with a brick?
1237
01:22:07,300 --> 01:22:10,900
No, he just messed up
on his purchase
tax returns,
1238
01:22:11,067 --> 01:22:14,700
trying to earn a living
so that Joyce could
stay in the house
1239
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,467
and Joyce could carry on
playing the piano,
1240
01:22:17,567 --> 01:22:21,333
which, by the way, wasn't
anything anyone wanted
to pay money to hear.
1241
01:22:21,433 --> 01:22:23,233
You said
you'd make me famous.
1242
01:22:23,333 --> 01:22:24,800
Well, I was stupid, then,
wasn't I?
1243
01:22:24,900 --> 01:22:26,367
'Cause I tell you what,
when I first walked
1244
01:22:26,467 --> 01:22:27,900
into the Strathmore
and heard you play,
1245
01:22:28,067 --> 01:22:30,100
I was quite a happy chap.
I was nothing special,
1246
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:33,667
mucking about at the
publishers', joking with
the girls in the office,
1247
01:22:33,767 --> 01:22:35,533
but I tell you what,
I was doing okay.
1248
01:22:35,633 --> 01:22:37,700
-You loved me.
-Yes, I did.
1249
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:39,733
But living with
a disappointed person is hard.
1250
01:22:39,833 --> 01:22:42,167
It drains the flippin' life
out of you.
1251
01:22:42,267 --> 01:22:44,533
Maybe it was a daft scheme
putting out those recordings
1252
01:22:44,633 --> 01:22:48,067
but I thought it might cheer
you up. Simple as that.
1253
01:22:48,100 --> 01:22:52,067
So, what are you going
to tell your sympathetic
lady journalist?
1254
01:22:52,133 --> 01:22:53,233
I could just tell her
the truth.
1255
01:22:53,333 --> 01:22:55,267
Oh, golly.
That would be a novelty.
1256
01:22:55,367 --> 01:22:57,233
BARRIE: That you hadn't
recorded in years.
1257
01:22:57,333 --> 01:22:59,067
That you were
too ill to play.
1258
01:22:59,133 --> 01:23:01,133
That every interview
you gave was a lie.
1259
01:23:01,233 --> 01:23:04,467
That would make my
obituaries pretty meaningless,
wouldn't it?
1260
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,333
You went down with
the Titanic, Joyce.
1261

I'm the poor sod
clinging to a deck chair.

We were at the funeral.

We've seen the news
about the recordings
1267
01:24:31,367 --> 01:24:33,433
and we've been so upset,
haven't we, Pilks?
1268
01:24:33,533 --> 01:24:37,067
Because we loved her
and we just can't see how
it can have happened.

-You've come to get
the full story, is that it?
-Well, not...

Well, I'll be giving
my story to the Daily Mail,

Oh, dear. We haven't just
come poking around.

Pilks said we shouldn't
just turn up

Miss Hatto,
can you tell us, please,

what is the best thing about
being a concert pianist?

YOUNG JOYCE: Well, I think
it's that every time
you sit down to play,
1300
01:26:32,700 --> 01:26:35,400
you don't actually know
what's going to happen
1301

is different,

"Wasn't Joyce Hatto
wonderful?"

want them to say,

"Oh, wasn't Chopin wonderful?"

discouraged sometimes

doesn't quite go
as I think it should

I can't do this," and
"Barrie, I can't do that."

he says, "you can do it."

always said playing music
was about being honest,

had anything to do with

01:27:55,167 --> 01:27:56,500
She didn't?
1330
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,167
Oh, Pilks. She really didn't?
1331
01:28:04,367 --> 01:28:07,067
She didn't know
anything about it.
1332
01:28:07,100 --> 01:28:10,767
As far as she was
concerned, the recordings
were as she played them.
1333
01:28:12,433 --> 01:28:14,467
So they were her recordings?
1334
01:28:14,567 --> 01:28:15,933
Absolutely they were.
1335
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:33,900
The trouble was, poor thing...
1336
01:28:35,667 --> 01:28:39,800
When she played, she would
make these little noises,
1337
01:28:40,633 --> 01:28:41,900
little cries of pain.
1338
01:28:43,333 --> 01:28:44,967
She didn't even know
she was doing them.
1339
01:28:46,067 --> 01:28:50,367
So I had to find a way
to patch them up
1340
01:28:50,467 --> 01:28:53,433
and, yes, it's a fair cop
in a sense,
1341
01:28:53,533 --> 01:28:56,500
(STUTTERS)
I made little edits,
1342
01:28:56,600 --> 01:29:00,267
but I never took
a whole movement,
1343
01:29:00,367 --> 01:29:01,800
not even a whole bar.
1344
01:29:07,300 --> 01:29:09,267
YOUNG JOYCE:
It can get a bit lonely,
1345
01:29:09,367 --> 01:29:12,700
but I'm very lucky,
I have the most
encouraging husband.
1346
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:15,200
I can get a little bit
discouraged sometimes
1347
01:29:15,300 --> 01:29:18,233
when a piece doesn't go
quite as I think it should
1348
01:29:18,333 --> 01:29:20,967
and I say, "Oh, Barrie,
I can't do this,"
1349
01:29:21,067 --> 01:29:22,467
and "Barrie, I can't do that,"
1350
01:29:22,567 --> 01:29:24,967
and he says, "Go on,"
he says "you can do it."
1351
01:29:25,067 --> 01:29:27,433
And he's right, I can.
1352
01:29:27,533 --> 01:29:32,400
He always says that
I'm the engine driver
and he's the oily rag
1353
01:29:32,500 --> 01:29:35,400
and, you know,
sometimes you need
an oily rag
1354
01:29:35,500 --> 01:29:37,467
to get the engine going.
1355
01:29:37,567 --> 01:29:40,100
I don't care if the only thing
you ever manage to play
1356
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:41,900
is the Teddy Bears' Picnic.
1357
01:29:42,067 --> 01:29:45,700
You know, if you
play it with passion,
commitment and truth,
1358
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:47,933
then you'll have my vote.
1359
01:29:48,067 --> 01:29:49,933
And you'll make me
a very happy Hatto.
