New corporate member Naxos Music talks about their online streaming and programming resources.
Often known (somewhat frustratingly!) only as 'the cheap CD company', Naxos has long featured music education and fostering a lifelong love of music as two of its core philosophies. Now, the flagship online resource Naxos Music Library is the largest classical streaming site in the world, with over 2.7 million tracks all with full inlay card details, and it continues to grow as an important academic written resource too. There’s no better place for example to research your ensemble’s next programme, to encourage your players and singers to get to know the works you’re performing next, or even to compare recordings to 'get a feel' for a particular work.
'Ever since our beginnings in 1987, broadening the accessibility of classical music has been a pillar in our philosophy. This has since expanded to the spheres of jazz and world music as well as literature. Our online resources are testament to our unwavering commitment and continuous investment to support these aims.' - Klaus Heymann, founder of Naxos Music
One of the newer additions to the Naxos staple is Naxos Works Database. Offering a wealth of detail on duration, instrumentation, publisher and programme introductions for more than 150,000 often underperformed and unrecorded works, and with new works begin added every day, it’s an information gateway for all your concert programmes!
