Peter Bartok was the recording and mastering engineer for most of the early Caedmon records,
including the famous series of Dylan Thomas readings. Three of my personal favorites, all of which I
think were made by Bartok, are Faulkner, Tennessee Williams and Eudora Welty reading their works. I
think all three were reissued by Caedmon's current owner, HarperCollins.
