Nov. 16, 1993 - New York Times obituary: Duncan Pirnie, former chief announcer of WQXR, died on Sunday in Paramus, NJ of a long illness. He was 70. After more than four decades with WQXR, the classical music station of The New York Times, Mr. Pirnie retired in 1987. He had a wide following for his daily features, including "Montage" with its "Cocktail Time," and one of the station's longest-running programs, "Symphony Hall."
Duncan was always open to new talent - unlike many radio managers who build walls between themselves and those trying to break in to the business. He encouraged each of his proteges to discover his or her own voice and style. He was a fine gentleman and a great guy. - Bob Evans
Was made in 1993. Information corrected.

The evidence suggests that this recording was made in 1993, not 1983.
