Ray Minshull
Biography
Raymond Phillip Minshull (27 March 1934 – 16 February 2007) was a British classical record producer. His whole career was spent with Decca Records, for whom he produced more than 300 recordings between 1958 and 1993. He became John Culshaw's successor as head of Decca's classical music division in 1967. Among the artists whom Minshull signed to exclusive contracts with the company were Kyung Wha Chung, Charles Dutoit, Pascal Rogé, Luciano Pavarotti and Jean-Yves Thibaudet. He was responsible for the first complete recording of Haydn's 104 numbered symphonies, and award-winning sets of Janáček operas conducted by Charles Mackerras, and produced many recordings that have remained in the catalogues for decades.
