Godfrey MacDomnic took this concentrated shot of the late Philip Ledger working in studio with Robert Tear. But who’s the man in the middle?
Formal confirmation: It’s Christopher Bishop, EMI producer, later manager of the Philharmonia Orchestra.
Anyone recognise this record producer?

Christopher Bishop of EMI in the 70s? Difficult to see as the lettering obscures his face, but the hair looks familiar. Robert Tear did a lot of EMI recordings then with him.
Yes I am sure it him: http://tfs.firshman.co.uk/temp/bishop.jpg (from the 1972 LSO Beethoven 9 recording with chorus director Arthur Oldham on left and Guilini on right)
Definitely Christopher Bishop.
I agree. It certainly looks like Christopher Bishop in the 1970′s.
It is Christopher Bishop from the late 1970′s
