		Most major record labels are owned by a few large multinational companies (Big Four record labels) that make up the almost all of the global recording industry, although there is a recent resurgence in independent record labels.
		Often the record label's decisions are correct ones from a commercial perspective, but this typically frustrates the artist who feels that their artwork is being destroyed.
		Such labels have a reputation for being fiercely uncompromising and especially unwilling to cooperate with the Big Five record labels at all.

	The history of Naxos
		Naxos is also working with experts in the field of music education to produce a series of music lessons, each consisting of a CD of musical examples, a text book for the teachers and work sheets for the students, to enable music teachers in primary and secondary schools to teach classical music more effectively.
		Naxos, the Greek island where Ariadne was once abandoned by Theseus to the mercies of Dionysus, has now become a word familiar to all record buyers, the name of a CD label which has impressed collectors by its quality, range and, not least, its price.
		The label and the mission have been astonishingly successful and this success lies in the flexibility of a stream-lined operation, the willingness to accept new repertoire ideas and the emphasis on the music itself rather than on the performer.

		The fact that Naxos is a budget record label is no excuse - musical imagination should be the lifeblood of a Handel interpreter, not an extra perk for those who are better paid.
		Naxos have no problems with producing interesting projects on paper - J.C. Smith's pasticcio oratorio Nabal should be released in Spring 2002 - nor with adequate technical standards involved in the recording process.
		This new recording's failure to hit the mark is further compounded by the availability of another budget-priced version conducted by Diego Fasolis, coupled with a surprisingly good performance of Dixit Dominus.

	Naxos (record label) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As of 2005, it is the largest-selling classical label in the world.
		Compared to other major record labels, the Naxos selection may be shallower in terms of interpretations of a given masterwork.
		For example, the Naxos catalog has only three orchestral recordings of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, with the conductors Bela Drahos, Richard Edlinger and Richard Strauss (the last an historic recording), compared to Deutsche Grammophon, which has Abbado, Bernstein, Böhm, Karajan, Kleiber, and Thielemann, some of whom have recorded the piece on more than one occasion.

	Naxos Quartet No. 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Naxos has been bold enough to do something quite new, probably of inexhaustible interest and complicated pleasure, and maybe a landmark.
		The piece - the third of a projected cycle of 10 quartets for the record label Naxos and the Maggini Quartet, who gave the premiere - began life earlier this year as an esoteric study of the relationships between different sets of musical pitches.
		Naxos Quartet No. 2, first performed at this year's Cheltenham Festival, is exactly the 43 minutes its composer claims, although the long first movement came in two less than the anticipated 18.

		Naxos like its competitor, Classical Music Library, may always have limitations on its content for a variety of reasons but as long as the cost is reasonable, its value is established.
		Naxos is unique in that it owns most of the music it is providing (unlike other companies which are merely licensing what they offer) and therefore, in my opinion, is a much more stable product.
		Naxos mentions that you can phone them during business hours but do not provide either a phone number or a general indication of what their hours are.

		As Naxos approaches its third decade, it's worth reflecting on what it has achieved: a catalogue that is as broad as it is deep; a judicious balancing of the familiar and the obscure; production values that rival the best and, increasingly, a roster of artists of truly international standing.
		And in the cyber domain, Naxos is easily the most visionary of the classical record labels: web radio and the Naxos Music Library make music available to educational establishments, hotels and public institutions.
		Naxos is now part of every music lover's life and 2005 has been a truly outstanding year.

		The main focus of that new interest has to be a set of 10 string quartets commissioned by the Naxos record label, all of which would be first performed and recorded by the Maggini Quartet.
		The first of the four movements is a sonata form of sorts, but one in which the elements are reassessed, and whose material is in a constant state of development.
		This is part of a series of 10 quartets commissioned for the Magginis by the Naxos record label.

		Smaller labels like Nonesuch and Naxos, which once just filled in the gaps with records of specialty repertory and adventurous artists ignored by the majors, are proving that it is possible to release important recordings at midrange prices and still pay the bills.
		Major orchestras had record contracts, and major opera stars sang their most important roles in complete recordings of the operas involved.
		And, of course, record sales in the '50s and the '60s were fueled by the advent of the LP, and, with it, the vast expansion of the recorded repertoire; in the '80s, sales were goosed when CDs were introduced.

	Music
		The Naxos label is celebrating its 15th anniversary, and you should join in the fun.
		The work of Naxos is invaluable not only because it makes the basic repertory available in more than respectable performances at a budget price, but it has also expanded its reach to music that the major labels pass over because the folks in marketing tell them they cannot make a penny doing it.
		The fruitful outcome of that meeting was, after their marriage, a son named Henryk and a new record label company, HNH International (the parent company of Naxos), named after Heymann, Nishizaki, and Henryk.

		Though still relatively unknown in the U.S., Naxos is synonymous in Europe and the Far East with first-quality classical music, recorded with state-of-the-art digital accuracy and sold at half or less than half the price of competing labels.
		Naxos has captured nearly half the classical music market all over the Pacific Rim, and from 50 to 70 percent of that market in Scandinavia.
		In the end, the biggest benefit that Naxos brings to Nashville might be its reputation as one of the foremost classical recording labels in the world.

		Many recordings are judged not so much by the interpretation, but by the sound of the thing.
		One reason for this was Naxos’ decision to include Colin Matthews’ complementary movement, Pluto, which emerges eerily from the dying bars of the original ending, Neptune.

		The success of Naxos lies in its commitment to offering the beginner and serious collector a full range of classical music in new, state-of-the-art digital recordings with CD-length playing times, and performances comparable to the best that the major record companies have to offer – but at a budget price.
		Increasingly, the label is also being recognised for its contribution to less familiar works, whether it is in the field of early music, forgotten Romantic music, or the twentieth century, from Shostakovich to Boulez.
		The use of music to add atmosphere, a period presence and emotional support to the text was part of the original concept of the label.
