About Me |

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor Since 1987, Naxos has changed the nature of how classical music is available to enthusiasts of the genre. Innovative strategies of recording exciting new repertoire with exceptional talent have enabled Naxos to develop one of the world's largest and fastest growing catalogs of unduplicated repertoire available anywhere—currently over 5000 titles--with state-of-the-art sound at affordable prices. Naxos is the creation of Klaus Heymann, a German-born entrepreneur and music lover based in Hong Kong. To boost the sales for his electronics equipment company, Heymann began organizing concerts of classical music in Hong Kong sponsored by Bose and Revox. When visiting artists involved in the concerts discovered that their records could not be found in Hong Kong shops, record distribution became an additional enterprise of Heymann's company. Since that time Naxos has become the World's leading Classical Music label, garnering awards from major music publications including Gramophone Awards and numerous Editor's Choices, GRAMMY nominations, nominations and wins for the Cannes Classical Awards, and AFIM nominations and awards. Naxos strives to record musicians of great distinction but it has, in general, avoided the common practice of putting the cart before the horse, the player before the composer. Put quite simply, at Naxos the music always comes first. For more information on Naxos, click here . This Month's New Release Highlights |
