Role of John Culshaw

I accept that John Culshaw was a major figure in the development of stereo opera recordings, which were a key part of Decca's classical catalogue from the late 1950s onwards, and many of these (and some of his non-opera records like the War Requiem) were best sellers. But what is the evidence that his work was mainly responsible for making Decca a major label given they had other producers/recording teams and made a lot of classical records during the 1950s and 60s? Weren't they considered a major label recording with major artists and orchestras well before he recorded Das Rheingold in stereo in 1958? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.36.79.46 (talk) 20:33, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
