As so often in a work of untold history, the ones who deserve greatest thanks are those who asked to have their names kept out of the book. Many of my other informants are acknowledged in the notes and have been thanked by the author in person. I am eft with the agreeable task of expressing my gratitude to those who, at one stage or other, provided encouragement or assistance in getting the story of classical recording finally on the record.
To my colleagues at the Evening Standard Veronica Wadley, Fiona Hughes, Sally Chatterton, and MaryAnn Mallet; at BBC Radio 3 Roger Wright, Tony Cheevers, Jessica Isaacs, Paul Frankl, Olwen Fisher and Cameron Smith; at Scherzo (Spain) Luis and Cristina Sunen; at www.scena.org (Canada) Wah Keung Chung and Mike Vincent; to my agents Jane Gelfman and Jonny Geller; to my publishers Marty Asher and Simon Winder; to my assiduous copy-editor Trevor Horwood and to my attentive reader Catherine Best.
And to all of those people in and out of the record business, some no longer alive, who shared with me their insights, ideas and access over the years:
Antonio de Almeida; Peter Alward; Peter Andry; Shirley Apthorp; Nicole Bachmann; Robert von Bahr; Mike Batt; Richard Bebb; Roxy Bellamy; Gunther Breest; Lucy Bright; Paul Burger; Marius Carboni; Schuyler and Ted Chapin; Matthew Cosgrove; Didier de Cottignies; Chris Craker; John G.

One afternoon in 1920, a young pianist sat down in a shuttered room in the capital of defeated Germany and played a Bagatelle by Beethoven. At the return of the main theme, one of his fingers fractionally strayed, touching two keys instead of one. Donnerwetter! (dammit!), cried Wilhelm Kempff. He looked around and saw crestfallen faces. That was very beautiful, said the machine operator, but the recording is now ruined.
