This thread is confusing two L'Oiseau-Lyres

L'Oiseau-Lyre has a life dating back to the 1920s as both a publisher and record label.

It was an independent label until 1971 shortly before the last of the two original owners died and when the record side was sold to Decca (its UK distributor). The disc referred to by the OP is from that independent era.

Decca released its first LP using the marque in 1971 and continued to issue recordings, mainly featuring contemporary works, until 1974 when catalogue number DSLO 501 became the first of what became an exclusively HIP label with the familiar Florilegium Series sous marque.

As someone whose main interest is in pre-Romantic music I have a fair number of their releases. I would describe their Decca era recording quality as variable. AFAIK Wilkie did not work on them. The balance engineers were e.g. Colin Morecroft , Peter Wadland, John Dunkerley etc.
