Overview

Exlibris Records (also known as Exlibris Musik or Exlibris Pladeselskab) is a Danish record label founded in 1975. It is owned by Gyldendal, one of Denmark's largest publishing companies, and is sometimes described as Gyldendal's music publishing arm. The label operates from Copenhagen and maintains an online shop at exlibris.dk through which it sells its catalogue directly to consumers. The label's catalogue is broad and spans several genres. Its website organizes releases into categories including pop/rock classics, classical and choral music, and folk and viser (Danish song tradition). Featured titles have included releases by artists such as Pia Raug, Trille, and Dissing (Dissing synger Bellman), as well as choral and classical recordings such as Royal Danish Concertos for Brass and Lotusøje by Per Drud Nielsen, Suzanne Brøgger and Akademisk Kor Århus. The shop lists both physical formats, notably vinyl, and other editions, with prices shown in Danish kroner. As a label under Gyldendal, Exlibris benefits from the resources and distribution reach of a major Danish publishing house while focusing on music. Its web presence combines a webshop with information pages covering ordering, personal data, and general terms of trade. The company is registered in Denmark under the name Exlibris Pladeselskab with CVR number 28695586, and its registered address is Bornholmsgade 1A in Copenhagen. Exlibris Records occupies a niche in Danish music culture, preserving and reissuing Danish folk, song and classical repertoire alongside contemporary releases. Its association with Gyldendal gives it a stable institutional base uncommon among independent labels, and its direct-to-consumer webshop allows it to keep its back catalogue available to collectors and listeners.

History

Exlibris Records was founded in 1975 in Denmark. According to Swedish Wikipedia, the label is also known as Exlibris Musik or Gyldendals musikförlag, and it is owned by Gyldendal, one of Denmark's largest companies. This ownership places the label within a major publishing house rather than as a fully independent operation. Over the decades the label built a broad catalogue. Its website presents releases across several areas: classics and popular Danish recordings, classical and choral music, and folk and viser. Titles such as Pigesind, Tønder Festival 1979, Bird Phoenix, Pia Raug's Fugleflugt, Trille's Hele Balladen, and Dissing synger Bellman illustrate the range, from remastered older material to live festival recordings and vinyl editions. By the 2020s the label operated a webshop at exlibris.dk, with information pages covering ordering, personal data and trade terms. The site identifies the company as Exlibris Pladeselskab with CVR number 28695586 and an address at Bornholmsgade 1A, Copenhagen. The webshop lists items in Danish kroner and includes both physical formats and reissues, reflecting a strategy of keeping its back catalogue in print and available directly to customers. Exlibris Records remains active as a Danish music label under Gyldendal, serving listeners interested in Danish song traditions, classical and choral repertoire, and popular Danish music.
