Naxos Records

Naxos is an independent record label for classical music; Under labels on jazz and world music appears.

History

Naxos was founded in 1987 by the German Klaus Heymann in Hong Kong. Design and scope of the booklets were usually narrower than for comparable conventional labels for the productions were cheaper to buy. Worked Naxos in the 1980s, mainly with Eastern European symphony orchestras and little-known conductors together to keep production costs low, so American and British orchestras such as the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Seattle Symphony and more famous conductors such as Leonard Slatkin came increasingly added since the 1990s. Now the label also sells CDs and DVDs from other production companies.

Repertoire

The company has recordings of less well-known and performed composers, such as the symphonies of the Russian composer Nikolai Myaskovsky or recordings of contemporary composers and new music, as well as his own series editions and first recordings of about Japanese classical music, Jewish- American music, film music and Age music.

The company commissioned the English composer Peter Maxwell Davies to write ten string quartets: the so-called Naxos Quartets.

In recent years, Naxos began to restore old recordings of other production companies and historical photos whose rights have expired, ( "re -mastering " ) and published on CD. A prominent example is the studio recording of Maria Callas.
