" who continued to record into the CD era, if i recall.
He did records for other than RCA. "
Wilkie retired (1980) just before the advent of CD and never recorded subsequently. He wasn't a recording engineer for RCA but a staff engineer for Decca. Back in the day Decca and RCA had a licensing agreement and he certainly recorded in Chicago but whether on loan for RCA sessions I don't know. Most of his admired work was for sessions in London at Walthamstow Town Hall and Kingsway Hall.
He also made records for Reader's Digest ( I think the Charles Gerhardt ones) and Lyrita although these were really by arrangement with Decca, a company he joined before WWII.
I envy you that record.
Follow Ups:
Decca let him do the Lyritas but insisted his name not appear on the recordings.

"....He also made records for Reader's Digest ( I think the Charles Gerhardt ones...."
I love his work on those Reader Digest releases. I always like to turn people onto his story with an article I found about 15 years ago.

This got me the article as the first listing on my search. Hope it works. Grrr.....I used to have all this Classical info at my finger tips. The four year absence from spinning seems to have had a negative effect on my grasp on a great deal.
