Robert Fine (1922–1982),[1] ran the classical division of Mercury Records in the 1950s and early 1960s. She produced hundreds of recordings, particularly the Mercury Living Presence series[2] that, according to her obituary in The New York Times, "Are still prized by collectors for the depth and realism of their sound."[3]
