Sure, probably nothing new as such, but here it's the extent that's unprecedented:119 recordings issued in her name to date (plus the plans for future issues), and to all accounts every single one that got reviewed (and pretty much they all would have sooner or later gotten reviewed, pending availability, given their status as cult objects and their "in-the-know" appeal) was praised as basically a lasting, unique masterpiece by some or another of the most influential critics in the business (Gramophone, Jed Distler & co.).
If we are to trust the latter, a big number of the glowing peaks of classical music history of at least the last 50 years (has seemingly) turned out to be a fraud. Who am I going to read now: Hurwitz? My gawd.
