Phil Hebblethwaite examines five classical musical hoaxes and controversies, from the early twentieth century to the modern day. These are origin stories that have fooled and perplexed some of the greatest experts. In an age of misinformation, when faking it has never been more prevalent, the series unravels the stories of some of the most brazen and confounding composer controversies. What is the appeal of engineering a hoax? And why do we fall for them so easily? It's a journey that raises questions about scholarship, authenticity and our faith in expert opinion.Mamoru Samuragochi became famous in the 2000s as the ‘Japanese Beethoven' – a deaf composer whose music touched millions of classical fans and crossed over to a mainstream audience by being used in computer games. But was Samuragochi actually deaf and was he even composing his own works? In his last essay in the series, Phil considers the impact of hoaxes on our trust in authenticity and celebrity.Written and presented by Phil Hebblethwaite Producer: Jo Glanville Editor: Joanne Rowntree Researcher: Heather Dempsey Studio Engineer: Dan King A Loftus Media Production for BBC Radio 4

Born as a second-generation Hibakusha, that is to say a child of Hiroshima A-bomb survivors, Mamoru Samuragochi faced hardship, prejudice and increasing illness throughout his life. Despite these enormous setbacks, he became one of the most respected and successful musical composers in Japan, despite becoming almost entirely deaf. He was also a liar.

Certaines escrocs ont une imagination très fertile et trompent leur monde durant des années. C'est le cas de Mamoru Samuragochi, qu'on avait surnommé le "Beethoven japonais". Un musicien génial et sourd Avec sa dégaine, Mamoru Samuragochi ne pouvait passer inaperçu. Et ce n'est pas pour rie, sans doute, qu'il avait adopté cette longue chevelure et ces lunettes noires qui étaient devenues sa marque de fabrique. On ne l'appelait pas sans raison le "Beethoven japonais". Il était en effet l'auteur d'œuvres musicales qui le firent vite comparer au grand musicien allemand. On lui doit notamment la "symphonie N.1 Hiroshima", composée en hommage aux victimes de la bombe atomique larguée sur cette ville en 1945. Et cette symphonie devient presque un hymne national au moment de la catastrophe de Fukushima, en 2011. Si on le compare à Beethoven, c'est aussi parce que, comme l'auteur de la 5e symphonie, il était atteint de surdité depuis l'âge de 35 ans. La découverte du pot aux roses En fait, Mamoru Samuragochi était un imposteur. En effet, il ne serait pas l'auteur de ses œuvres. C'est du moins ce que prétend un certain Takashi Niigaki, professeur de musique de son état. Il se présente en effet comme le "nègre" de Samuragochi. Il l'aurait été pendant 18 ans. D'après lui, il était incapable de composer. C'est donc à Niigak qu'on devrait la fameuse symphonie. Et la supercherie ne s'arrête pas là. D'après Niigaki, le "Beethoven japonais" ne serait pas sourd. Il prétend en effet avoir pu échanger avec lui tout à fait normalement. Le "nègre" aurait voulu quitter son patron plusieurs fois, mais celui-ci aurait menacé de se suicider, en compagnie de sa femme. Mamoru Samuragochi n'a pas cherché à nier ces accusations, du moins celles qui concernaient ses œuvres musicales. Il s'est contenté d'adresser ses excuses au public et à Takashi Niigaki. Il a cependant confirmé sa surdité, même s'il la présente désormais comme partielle. Il affirme en effet que, depuis quelques années, il parvient à comprendre ce qu'on lui dit, à condition que son interlocuteur parle assez fort. Learn more about your ad choices.

När stjärnkompositören Mamoru Samuragochi stod på toppen av sin karriär kallades han för Japans Beethoven – för trots att Samuragochi förlorat sin hörsel lyckades han skapa smäktande vacker musik. Han fick rockstjärnestatus och syntes i tidningar och TV, när han berättade om sitt gripande öde. Men i en annan del av Japan fanns en kollega till kompositören som sakta men säkert började känna sig väldigt orättvist behandlad...Ljudklippen i programmet är hämtade från BBC, CNN och The World (NPR).Högt Spel är en ny podcast från Studio Olga.

Japan is a country where video game soundtracks more often than not appear in their Billboard top 10. What often doesn't appear in their top 10 is the Classical Music genre. One man, decided to change that, a man who by his own admission was said to have been a child prodigy, Mamoru Samuragochi. This story follows the weird tale of Mamoru Samuragochi, a man who faked deafness to avoid answering questions about his art, faked a broken hand to avoid playing his art and had an unknown university teacher ghost write his work. He rose to the top of Japan's limelight only to have his lies catch up with him and have it all come crashing down.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/abriefhistory?fan_landing=true)

Adulé dans le monde entier, le japonais Mamoru Samuragochi fut au début des années 2000 un des plus grands compositeurs de notre temps. On doit notamment à ce surdoué de la musique une poignée de symphonies d'anthologies… Problème, la belle histoire sans fausse note du musicien cachait une réalité peu reluisante.Mamoru Samuragochi © Amazon Notre politique de confidentialité GDPR a été mise à jour le 8 août 2022.

Call them the Great Pretenders; some people try to become someone else because they are pulling a con; others do it as a joke, or for reasons that no one can imagine. But one thing is for sure: these people’s fake lives are probably way more interesting than your real life. This week we’re talking about some of the biggest impostors, both real and fictional. There’s a good chance that Jeff is back to judging while Richard and Michael are debating, but really, can you be too sure? SHOW NOTES 2:10 - Faker from "He-Man and The Masters of the Universe" (Michael's Choice) 8:38 - Barry Bremen aka "The Great Imposter" of sports (Richard's Choice) 17:22 - Milli Vanilli (Michael's Choice) 25:01 - Iron Eyes Cody aka "The Crying Indian" (Richard's Choice) 33:30 - Frank Abangale Jr. (Michael's Choice) 41:36 - Sarah Emma Edmons - impersonated male soldier during Civil War (Richard's Choice) 47:25 - Danny Kaye in "The Court Jester" (Michael's Choice) 51:14 - Mamoru Samuragochi - deaf composer allegedly neither deaf nor a composer (Richard's Choice)

Leonard Bernstein, Paul McCartney and Osvaldo Golijov all wrote high-profile music that wasn't entirely theirs. They used orchestrators (Bernstein in West Side Story), musical collaborators (McCartney's concert works) and assistant melodists (Golijov’s Sidereus) to help get their thoughts on paper. But while many composers farm out tasks to students and assistants with full transparency, the scandal surrounding the Japanese composer Mamoru Samuragochi goes far deeper. The man known as “Japan’s Beethoven” — because he supposedly continued to compose despite a profound hearing loss — admitted last week that he’d been paying someone else to write his music for nearly two decades. What’s more, his ghost writer also came forward to reveal how little he had been paid, and to claim that Samuragochi’s deafness was all an act (Samuragochi on Wednesday offered an apology and an explanation that his hearing had partially returned). And it’s not only Japanese musicians who have expressed outrage over the revelations. On this episode of Conducting Business, Francisco J. Núñez, director of the Young People’s Chorus of New York City (YPC), tells host Naomi Lewin that his chorus is currently in a bind, trying to determine whether to go ahead with a long-scheduled performance of Samuragochi’s choral piece Requiem Hiroshima on March 26, alongside two visiting Japanese choruses. The YPC, whose core program serves 1,300 New York City children from ages 7 to 18, performed the requiem in Tokyo last summer and briefly met with Samuragochi. “I was very sad,” Núñez said when asked about the revelations. “I’ve been receiving texts and snap-chats from all of our singers actually. He had won our hearts with the story. It seems to me, music is always about the way you paint the picture around the actual music and a picture was painted around Samuraguchi.” The piece in question is a choral tribute to a 15-year-old boy who died from the effects of radiation from the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. “If anyone else had given me this piece of music I would not say, ‘Wow, this is an incredible piece of music,’” Núñez admitted. “But it was because it came from someone who we thought couldn’t hear.” Anne Midgette, the classical music critic of the Washington Post, agrees that the outrage is not over his use of a ghostwriter, but the fictional persona he developed to create the ruse. “I feel the outrage is about the personal fraud – the deception, the pretending to be deaf, pretending to be a genius,” she said. “If he had been open about the collaboration, I think there would be no outrage at all because this kind of collaboration is a normal part of the artistic process these days.” The case comes as a culture of borrowing and collaboration has opened up new gray areas in music, says Richard Elliott, a cultural musicologist at the University of Sussex in England. “In popular music it’s become kind of accepted that what we’re hearing is a fabrication," he noted. "Authorship goes far beyond the composer and the lyricists and involves all kinds of technologists – engineers, mixers, producers." Núñez said his choir is still debating whether to perform the Requiem Hiroshima with a correct attribution – or pull it from the program altogether. “I have received many e-mails from Japan asking me to no longer perform this piece of music,” he noted. “Even I don’t understand what actually happened here – that someone is able to deceive so many people for so long.” Listen to the full segment above, subscribe to our podcast on iTunes and share your own thoughts on this case in the comments box below.
