Walter Legge (1906-1979) is the best-known record producer in the history of classical music. From the early 1930s until his death in 1979, Legge held sway over much of the music world. Legge used a remarkable personality, shrewdness, and musical taste to handle such figures as Furtwangler, Callas, Beecham, Sibelius, Britten, Walton, Karajan, and many others.
