Thanks for the input everyone! And Lance thanks for the welcome back. to clarify and narrow the scope some more here is a list of what works are in our catalog. I am still researching each of the releases as to the conductor and time frame of recording but these were all released on Intersound (sinc...

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've been on here but just wanted to send my greetings. So we have a really great collection of Royal Philharmonic recordings from a wide range of composers and conductors. I'm trying to come up with some compilations that would be interesting and not your stand...

Lets put it another way. Say a computer programmer at a credit card company decides to go into business for himself. Lets say he writes code that at just one point in the calculation works a result out to 3 decimal points, raises the bill to the next highest cent even in cases where the cardholder ...

Corylss, Thank you thank you thank you! that info is very helpful. I guess to specify more what I'm looking for is of all the demographic catagories who is buying classical music and even if possible how and what. With a focus more on acutal buying cd's or downloads. For example what percentage of 1...

There have been some fantastic reviews in som major newpapers about this as well as a piece of NPR weekend edition. There's a great inverview with the people that put this together.

Piston - Thanks for that link, It is very helpful and I may be able to snag a few things from there. Nashvillebill wrote: a lot has changed in those 5 years. Like what?

Hey everyone, So I've been trying to find a study or something that's reletively up to date on the demographics of classical music consumers. The most recent thing I"ve seen is a study from 2002 but that is 5 years old and a lot has changed in those 5 years. IF anyone has any links or knowledge of s...

Well to put the fun back in it lets just go with all 20th centry music!

Naxos has a myspace site that we're starting to update with all of our new releases and video clips as well as podcasts.

Nashvillebill

ok all....Let's strech your noggins and see who can come up with the most facts. I'm looking to try and connect 20th Centry post-war music to other Genre's. For example Philip Glass used David Bowies Heroes song as a basis for the Heroes Symphony. Varese influenced Frank Zappa... George Crumb was Ur...

Anyways, does anyone have any recommenadations on Wagner opera's on DVD? Opus Arte and Arthaus both have some very interesting versions of Wagner operas. I think that it's hard to recomend something specific because it could be a fantastic opera production but the filming of it could be terrible an...

Nashvillebill

Ralp, Our sales rep in NY is excellent about setting up sales and promotions with people like J&R, Borders, B&N, etc. I'll keep you updated as to when specials like this occure. As far as the recording quality, things have vastly improved from the past. This is due to both better technology and bett...

Nashvillebill

NAXOS IS THE Label

I would have to agree Ralph! Glad you enjoyed the sale.

Nashvillebill

This one is pretty good from Opus Arte it's a little on the expensive side but a great collection

Naxos of America (naxos' distribution wing) distributes DVD's as well. So far we distribute TDK, Euroarts, Arthaus Musik, Opus Arte, The Christopher Nupen Films, & Ideale Audiance (Juxtapositions). If y'all would like I can give a list of each month's new releases from these labels. Here's what was ...

Nashvillebill

Hey everyone, If you live in New York or in close proximity the big J&R store at Park Row is having a huge Naxos Sale and will have all the distributed labels as well. It's a good chance to get some Naxos even cheaper as they have really stocked up.

-Peace

Nashvillebill

What is the Naxos marketing strength for Alsop? Is it the music, or that she is female? The fact that Marin is a woman hasn't played much into the marketing of her latest releases from Naxos. I think her talent and abilities were probably noticed early on more so because of her gender but I would g...

Nashvillebill

Hello Paco, You know this will really have nothign to do with Bach, but as a DJ you might be itnerested in some of the 20th century music. Some of it's really out there but could really lead to some very interesting creations. Guys like Terry Riley, John Cage, Stockhausen, PHilip Glass and others mi...

Nashvillebill

These are some awesome suggestions... Let's boraden this topic even more though and say they don't necessarily have to be historic but just some of the greatest performers or conductors or classical music event you'd like to see on film?

Nashvillebill

Ok.... I'm stepping out on a limb here and saying that I like Country!! well not all of it and I more so love the songs them selves vs. the people singing them. I love the songwriters of country music as it's some of the most moving and enjoyable lyrics if you really listen. if you dissagree listen ...

Nashvillebill

ok, So I've got a question for everyone. If you had access to any/every performace in the recorded era on video who would you like to see and which performance? I ask because there are so many historical cd's out there but very few videos or visual options to see these masters of their day perform. ...

Nashvillebill

I just figured I would bring this back to the top to remind everyone of what's available next week from Naxos. Also for those inclined to downloading the three Alsop releases (Brahms 3, Carmina Burana, and Heroes symphony) are all pre-released on itunes.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

I was able to snag a preview copy of it and it was very cool. I'd never seen it before and it was very interesting. Being from Georgia, out teachers only really brushed over the Dust Bowl in class but some of the photos and film work is really cool... Almost like you could see this thing on the hist...

Hey Ralph,

Very cool to know about the Lincoln Center B&N. They have been great recently about incorporating more Naxos product in their stores. With those books and that promotion their doing of the Very Best of series any one who is a newbie to classical has many opportuinites to learn.

Nashvillebill

I will have to agree with Ralph and that that number is alterd by the Josh Grobans, Il Divo, and Andrea Bochelli's. Considering about 3 million of those units alone from 2006 are from 2 cds (Groban - Awake, Bochelli - Amore) If you look at this weeks top sellers you have the three mentioned above + ...

Nashvillebill

Also If I remember correctly for another couple threads there are some people here who are big fans of Allan Pettersson. CPO is releasing a box set of his complete symphonies and will be available in January as well. it's a 12 disc box set. That's a lot of Pettersson!!

Nashvillebill

Yes these are all US releases and will be available at the end of january. So save up all the gift cards and chirstmas money till then!

Ralph, the alsop brahms is fantastic. I snagged a promo copy and listened to it over the break and really enjoyed it. It's on par with the first two.

So we've got a new recording of Terry Riley's in C comming out in January and I was wondering if there were any really cool organizations or groups that focus on Minimalist music or Riley in particular. I find this music so incredible in concept although listening to it can drive you crazy! Thanks! ...

I wonder how Schwarz/Seattle will register with this landmark American symphony...the orchestral demands are severe, really tough stuff. these Seattle recordings are sometimes quite good [Hanson - Merry Mount , Schuman 7], and at other times pretty bland and routine. anyone heard the Schwarz yet?? ...

Naxos is releasing an excellent recording of Carmina Burana 0n january 30th featuring Marin Alsop and the Bournemouth SO (8570033).

Hello All! I am very currious to know how many of you purchase Operas on video/dvd. I was looking at a bunch of DVD's and while I'm sure it can't compare to actually being there I find some of them to be facinating and others to be less so. Are there any hardcore opera nuts out there that get into t...

Naxos turns 20! There will be some pretty exciting things happening next year in conjunction with it!

Nashvillebill

well I have to admit it is a pretty sad thing for the Classical music world. That just means everyone will have to buy their cd's from Naxos! :) Sorry, just had to :twisted: anyway... I have to say this speaks more to the major labels problems with running their companies in a profitable way than it...

Glad to help Lance! Ralph is correct in that there are legal issues in selling the historical recordings in that we do not have the rights to distribute them in the US. But anywhere else in the world it is perfectly legal to sell them and for you to buy them. Distribution Rights can be a tricky thin...

Nashvillebill

The good thing about things that have been recorded in the past is that a good engineer can do wonders remastering old recordings to make them really stand out. So don't let the date it was recorded get in your way of purchasing something. Also don't forget that twoartists can record the same piece ...

Hey Lance...Unfortunatly Naxos won't have any of those historical titles for a while.... but if you're really wanting to get them and know any Canadians they they can probably hook you up!!

Maybe I'm not reading the press release carefully enough. Let's say I buy the Beethoven symphonies package. Am I getting a password and instructions, or a CD-ROM?
