Danacord Records
Danish record label Danacord Records, founded in 1979 by Jesper Buhl, is based in Copenhagen. The company's current catalogue has more than 350 recordings, covering an impressive array of music from Denmark - much of it little-known - and from other countries. The catalogue includes, for example, the survey by violinist Kai Laursen (1924-1996) of twenty-six Danish violin concertos.
