Yes, Ashkenazy, Haitink and Vienna Philharmonic, for one of the Brahms Piano Concerti.
But how many here know that recording? Not "know of that recording",
but actually have heard it and had it register in any distinct way in their memory so that they would easily recognize it if they heard it?
To be frank, I have bought both. The Ashkenazy was one of the first recordings on compact disc. But it's rather a tepid one in a market
which contains some very good performances. I've only listened to it
perhaps 3 times over the last 30 years, if that. I would not
immediately recognize it today.
When I heard the (!) Hatto, my reaction was the same, that it was not a remarkable performance in comparison with the rest of the catalog, but
I did not recognize it as Ashkenazy.
Perhaps if I were fonder of the Ashkenazy and more familiar with it, I
would have discovered the likeness, but it was because it wasn't a
recording I would gravitate back to made it work to better hide the
true source.

As for WBC's line, I think he might be thought of as akin to a kleptomaniac. Was just reading Earl Wild's memoir "A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE," and he mentions a prominent music critic, I think it was, who was a klepto and had a card from his psychiatristsaying so. This the guy would use to get out of scrapes when he was caught.

Among the no longer living, Terry Thomas might have been ideal.

Let's give a try. Joyce is ill, tired and depressive. BC bears a grudge. He believed he married someone who would make an international, but Joyce was too insecure and lazy. On her sickbed, he confronts her with how good she could have been and howwell her CDs would have sold.
Now it's your turn.

Not as far as I know. But the Hatto affair wasn't really a comedy, unless you would make a film from the perspective of the true believers. But in the shadow of the Madoff affair, a few CDs and some copyrights are hardly noticeable.

This is a challenge. I'm not very artistically creative. I think we have to portray PC as acting for Joyce's sake (creating a performing legacy) but based on his past we need to see he's in it for the money also. I think Joyce has to be drugged againsther pain. Half out of it all the time. I see a scene when she's listening to one of "her" recordings and she asks BC, didn't I grunt in pain at that moment? And he replies that he just edited it out. She gives him a look (a smirk?) that leaves us
