Non-existent classical pianist who was credited as a performer on various recordings
The resultant 'Best Loved Gems of Piano Music' was then supposed to be played by one pianist - and so Paul Procopolis was born. I can't claim to have invented him, but I certainly helped his career. I'd noticed that EMI were putting a little text box containing biographical details of their artists on their sleeves, so I thought I'd do one on our Paul. Born in Athens in 1934, studied with Nadia Boulanger in Paris (well, didn't we all?) didn't tour much but lived and taught in Greece etc etc.
