Description
For sale from the private collection of John Culshaw OBE ‘s Estate. ASD 368 x2 Single sided HMV test pressings
History and provenance :John Culshaw OBE (28 May 1924 – 27 April 1980) English classical record producer and Pioneer of Stereo recording for Decca Records UK. With Culshaw at the helm of Decca he concentrated on the emerging stereophonic recording technology, and stereo opera in particular as manager of the company's classical recording division, a position of great influence in the classical music world.
The Gramophone obituary wrote of him in 1980: " … [H]e transformed the whole concept of recording. .”
Among the honours given to Culshaw, The Times listed "eight Grands Prix des Disques, numerous Grammys and in 1966 an OBE", and the Vienna Philharmonic's Nicolai Medal in 1959 and its Schalk Medal in 1967. .
Following Mr. Culshaws sad passing his personal HiFI equipment and vinyl record collection was dutifully stored by his family. We were recently contacted by Johns Nephew and God Son Alistair regarding Mr. Culshaws Hifi equipment which had remained unused since his passing. Having inspected the hifi equipment (Including a bespoke Decca tonearm and some fascinating speakers from his office at Decca) we were able to make an arrangement to purchase both the HiFI and the records. Over the forthcoming months a portion of this will be offered for sale by Audio Grail. See our other listings.
