Recording Career
Janina Fialkowska is an active and highly acclaimed recording artist. Two of her recordings were nominated by the Canadian music industry for a Juno Award: her 1997 CD Fialkowska plays Szymanowski (ODR 9305) and her 1998 recital of virtuoso salon pieces La Jongleuse (CBC MVCD 1114). Her 2001 recording of Liszt’s Transcendental Études (ODR 9332) earned the Critics’ Choice award from American Record Guide. She has also recorded the Liszt Sonata (for RCA) and discs of various works by Chopin (for Atma Classique).
Recordings by Janina Fialkowska have been the victim of a form of art theft. In 2007, it was discovered that some recordings originally attributed to the deceased pianist Joyce Hatto (1928–2006) contained tracks that had been plagiarized from recordings by other artists. Two pieces from Fialkowska’s 1990 CD of works by Franz Liszt – Mephisto Waltz and Venezia e Napoli were amongst the tracks that were fraudulently represented as having been recorded by Hatto. The discovery of these and other plagiarized tracks led to one of the biggest scandals that has ever occurred in the classical music recording business.

Famous quotes containing the words recording and/or career:
“Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft. You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.”
—Jessie Tarbox Beals (1870–1942)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
