"If you have not yet made their acquaintance, Beulah regularly bring us reissues of historical recordings, from 78s to 1960s stereo, in  transfers as good as any that I have heard, removing as much surface noise as is feasible –practically all in the case of LPs, and even for most 78s –without impairing the tonal  quality." Brian Wilson at Music Web International


"The Beulah record label has always been one of the most idiosyncratic, and therefore perhaps most interesting, of reissue marques. While the basic character of Beulah remains the same as in its Compact Disc days, the range of its present catalogue, driven now by the ease of downloading, has been extended in remarkable fashion. Browsing the Beulah catalogue is now rather like being in a 78rpm record shop: there are plenty of recordings of short pieces available to whet your appetite for either repertoire or artist, while at the same time there are numerous full length works available if you wish to consolidate your collection with, for instance, major symphonies. All of Beulah's transfers, as might be expected of a distinguished reissue label, are of very high quality." David Patmore writing in Classical Recordings Quarterly

"Beulah releases are  available  from  other  suppliers  but  Qobuz  offer  them  in  lossless  sound  for  the  same  price  that others charge for mp3 –in some casesthat’sless than full bit-rate mp3." Brian Wilson at Music Web International 


New for March

Many music lovers miss the sound from vinyl pressings. Many others have yet to discover how great the sound can be. Most of our albums are mastered from vinyl LP pressings and earlier recordings (generally before 1953) from 78 rpm discs. It is our ability to recreate, in the digital age, the sound from the disc era that many of our customers find most enjoyable.

Unlike modern digital recordings tracks in our albums do contain some distortion, and the occasional surface noises, but for many listeners these "defects" are soon forgotten.

Our albums are available from many download and streaming sites.

We highly recommend downloading from qobuz where you can download or stream in high quality, for the same price as iTunes medium quality.

Beethoven 250

Ludwig Van Beethoven was born in Bonn on 16 December 1770. A crucial figure in the transition between the classical and romantic eras in classical music, he remains one of the most recognized and influential musicians of this period, and is considered to be one of the greatest composers of all time.

ffrr at 75

On 8 June 1945 Decca released their full frequency range recordings to the record buying public. It was exactly a year since Decca started recording in ffrr and during  that year they engaged Sidney Beer's National Symphony Orchestra to make recordings in ffrr.

To mark the 75th anniversary of the advent of ffrr we are releasing four albums by the National Symphony Orchestra during March and April.

"'...Arrau bringing to the scores many profound insights’.Rob Maynard was also impressed by the ‘very fine’ accounts of both concertos, ’.

"I enjoyed Arrau and Giulini far more than reviewers had in the 1960s; after all, Giulini recorded a notable Brahms Symphony No.1 for Columbia, so the accusation of being out of step with his music does’t hold up."

"Nor would Giulini’s Haydn be a first choice; it’s big-band  Haydn,  more  like  Beecham  than  modern recordings,but I did enjoy hearing everything on this tribute reissue and commend it to your attention.The recordings have transferred well."

"Barbirolli’s Elgar, too, is pretty special, not least his classic recording of the Introduction and Allegro and other works(Beulah 1PS42). His Enigma Variations appeared on ASD548, with Cockaigne, to high praise and though I would probably choose Pierre Monteux’s recording from this period , there’s very little between them; this represents the Philharmonia of the period at its best – up there with their Beethoven for Klemperer. Both recordings have come up very well in these new transfers."
