Having derived much pleasure from re-reading Culshaw's
two books, "Ring Resounding" (1967) and "Putting the
Record Straight" (1981), are there any recommendations for
more recent books on this general topic.

Not so much more recent, but just as interesting is Schwarzkopf's memoir of her hubby, Walter Legge, ISBN 1555535194

> of her hubby, Walter Legge, ISBN 1555535194
Both of these play major roles in "Music Makers on Record", the memoirs of
Suvi Raj Grubb, disciple of Walter Legge and later a major producer for
EMI.

I haven't read the book by Andrew Kazdin, Glenn Gould's producer, but it's called "Glenn Gould at Work: Creative Lying."
There is another Walter Legge book besides "On & Off" -- it's called "Walter Legge: Words & Music." I didn't like it very much. It's a collection of odds and ends, full of (his) glowing tributes to various EMI recording artists, but it is short on recording-studio stuff.
This genre fascinates me. I too would welcome more suggestions.

Try Gary Marmorstein's The Label: The Story of Columbia Records. Not
entirely reliable when it comes to the classical end of things, but allowing
for that there's more and more interesting stuff than you're likely to
encounter. And it's more accurate than Lebrecht, at least, although I know
that's not exactly a ringing endorsement.
