Berandol

Berandol Records, founded in 1956 in Toronto, Canada, emerged as a significant player in the Canadian music scene, particularly in classical and folk genres. Established by the Canadian musician and producer, Dr. Robert G. Berandol, the label aimed to promote Canadian artists and music. During the 1960s and 1970s, Berandol gained recognition for its classical recordings, featuring prominent Canadian musicians and orchestras, and contributing to the preservation of Canadian cultural heritage. The label also ventured into folk music, aligning with the burgeoning folk revival of the era. Key artists associated with Berandol include renowned conductor Sir Andrew Davis and folk singer Gordon Lightfoot, who helped elevate the label's profile. Although Berandol ceased operations in the late 1980s, its legacy endures through its extensive catalog, which remains a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of Canadian music and its contributions to the broader musical landscape.
