Biddulph Recordings is a record label based in Devon, England[1] specialising in the restoration of historical performances, particularly by string musicians.[2] It was founded in 1989 by violin dealer Peter Biddulph and Eric Wen, a musicologist and historian of string performances.[3][2] In 2003, Sarah Woodward joined and has since overseen the historical vocal label Romophone.[4] Biddulph Recordings’ honours include the Gramophone 1999 ICRC award for "Historical Recording of the Year".[citation needed]
Biddulph Recordings has also produced a number of important original recordings.[12] The first of these was the recital recording debut of violinist Maxim Vengerov, then an unknown 14-year-old prodigy.[12][6] This was followed by Ruggiero Ricci’s accounts of the Beethoven and Brahms Concertos featuring 16 and 14 different cadenzas respectively (both concerto albums were tracked to enable the listener to choose which cadenza to program into each performance). [29] Other new recordings on the Biddulph label include the Bach interpretations of pianist Edward Aldwell,[30] and the violin performances of Oscar Shumsky, Aaron Rosand, and Arnold Steinhardt.[3][31][32]
