I was listening to various Historical Recordings (online) and I
noticed that all your ADD and AADs before 1950 sound very hissy
and noisy although the website claims to have remastered them. Regardless,
I have other pre-1950 recordings of other labels and they sound
very clean and noise-free, as though they were DDDs. Care to clarify?

[Editor: Thank you for sending us your comments. Part of the reason
that our historical transfers sound hissy may be due to the low
quality of samples available on our website. The listening samples
can give the visitor an idea of how the CD sounds, but they do not
accurately portray the sound quality.
The other reason for the noise is slightly more complicated. Here
is an explanation from Mark Obert-Thorn, one of our award-winning
restoration engineers:
"The lower quality of the on-line samples is part of the reason;
however, I think the main reason is that Naxos Historical transfers
(which for the most part are done by Ward [Marston] and myself)
reflect our philosophy of taking the clicks and pops out but not
all the surface noise, in those cases where taking out surface noise
also takes out realistic orchestral timbres.
I was just reading a review of one of my Horowitz reissues for Naxos
in the latest issue of Fanfare. The writer was comparing what I
did to what EMI did in their own (denoised) transfers, and said
something like "There's a lot more hiss [on the Naxos], but the
piano really sounds like a piano." That's what we're trying for.
If your correspondent is listening to transfers from 78s that sound
as quiet as DDD recordings, he is most certainly missing a lot of
high frequency information."]
I purchase Naxos CDs from our local store on a regular basis. Recently
I have started dipping my feet into chamber music besides the usual
orchestral repertoire 'must haves'. I felt particularly astounded
listening to the Brahms/Schumann Piano Quintets and the Brahms Violin
Sonatas. Such glorious interpretations of these timeless classics!
. . . . Thank you so much for providing classical music lovers with
such a treasure trove, and may you continue with the good work.

I have bought over one hundred Naxos Classical CD's. They are all
excellent. I prefer post Mozart music. As a youth I jumped from
Stan Kenton to Stravinsky. The price is as excellent as the music
. . . I can even find Naxos in the far reaches of notheastern Vermont.
Thank you.

I want to thank you for making all this music available. On your
web site, I have just rediscovered Blomdahl's Adagio from "The Wakeful
Night", a piece that has haunted me for a long time. Because of
your website I was able to hear this beautiful music for the first
time in several years.

Thank you so, so much for your now completed Bax symphonic cycle.
For years I have waited for a truly justified interpretation of
these glorious works. Bax is such an elusive composer. Lloyd Jones
and band are evidently focused on the fight to lift him from the
no-man's land he currently abides in, to the 'name in lights' podium
he so desperately deserves.
Terms such as "the best" and "greatest" are not always appropriate
but, given the excellence of the above, no more higher praise can
be given. Sample the final few minutes of Symphony No. 6 and revel
in the glory that is Naxos Bax.
Thank you SO much.

Dear Naxos: I am hoping that Naxos will record music by Wallingford
Riegger (especially the Symphonies), and music by Carl Ruggles.
Am looking forward to Theodore Kuchar's recordings of more Roy Harris
Symphonies. When is the "Adventures of Robin Hood" Marco Polo due
out in the States? I hope that in Marin Alsop's Barber series she
will include the Capricorn Concerto and the Toccata Festiva for
Organ and Orchestra. I have about 200 of your CDs and I do feel
that your new releases are more exciting than DG, Decca, SONY, BMG
and Phillips. You also have the best classical music website. I
really appreciate being able to listen to your CD's online first,
but I would rather own the CD's in my collection. They take pride
of place.

[Editor: No occurrences of Riegger or Ruggles on our release schedule
quite yet, nor future recordings of Roy Harris. The classic film
score for "The Adventures of Marco Polo" will be released in the
United States in November. The Barber series will include the Toccata
Festiva, although it will not be conducted by Marin Alsop. However,
a recording of the Capricorn Concerto with Alsop is due for release
in mid-2004. Glad you enjoy the website!]
I now have almost 300 Naxos CD's, most of which collected since
I retired 3 years ago....please don't change a thing!

I have just finished listening to the magnificent recording of
English Choral Music by Lennox Berkeley which I bought on Saturday.
This is the third CD of choral music by relatively neglected English
composers I have bought from Naxos, the other two being the Rubbra
and Finzi collections, both of which are also absolutely wonderful.
You are certainly to be congratulated on bringing these beautiful
but criminally neglected pieces into the public consciousness.
Please keep up this wonderful work.

A huge thank you to Naxos for the new Frank Bridge string quartet
issue! . . . . Also, may I congratulate you on the Arthur Foote
Chamber Music volume 3 - some of the most beautiful and inspiring
chamber music I have ever heard and brilliant playing/recording
- wonderful! Would love to hear more of Foote (I have vols. 1&2
of course). Must thank you for Dvorak Trios, Iceland Orehestra recordings
of Sibelius symphonies, Sibelius Piano Music, Field Piano Concertos/Solo
Piano, Elgar Piano Quintet, Vaughan Williams String Quartets, Smetana/Suk/Novak
Trios, Medtner Piano Concertos and Piano Quintet - all superb, fabulous!

First of all, let me thank you for many of my CD collector friends
for such interesting and worthwhile releases. You keep us busy from
month to month will all kinds of wonderful discoveries.
Naxos is the only label presently offering music of interest to
the collector. We don't need more Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and
Tchaikovsky. We serious collectors are looking for unusual repertoire
and I buy as many Naxos discs as I can put my hands on. I just got
three . . . by Rorem, Balada and the excellent Hashimoto (and Rochberg
and others before that.)
I hope you will continue recording such interesting discs . . .

The Naxos Sousa series is an evolving epic. To date no one label
has ever attempted the massive task of recording all of his music.
My hat goes off to Naxos for attempting this project. So much of
Sousa's music deserves a wider following in the United States. He
truly was one of our great composers who wrote or transcribed music
in all different genres. Naxos has begun to show us how varied Sousa's
music was. Each CD so far provides a fine balance of marches and
other works, providing for a concert style program. The use of Keith
Brion and the band of the Royal Regiment of Artillery are also inspired
choices for presenting this music. Please continue developing this
wonderful series of Sousa music.

I want to congratulate NAXOS for producing such a wide range of
quality recordings! I must say one can find virtually ANYTHING in

I personally love the Stephen Gunzenhauser Dvorak symphonies, The
Liszt Piano music played by Konstantin Scherbakov, and of course,
Handel's Messiah by the Scholars Baroque Ensemble! I think all the
NAXOS CD recordings are great! I am much surprised if the reviews
are anything less than positive! Keep up the great work!

Just to say thank you. I would never have known such beautiful

your technical staff, I was able to discover more music. . . .

I have been a Naxos customer for many years, and have been tremendously
pleased by the consistent quality and adventurous repertoire of
the recordings offered. I am especially impressed by the Historical
series, to unfairly name but one. But now I have reason to commend
Naxos on an issue often forgotten by companies that market a product,
especially one marketed in part on it's affordability - customer
service. Not only are Naxos' products exemplary, so is it's treatment
of it's customers.
I have on several occasions requested information on recording availability
or plans to record particular pieces, and have received very pleasant
personal responses. This itself is outstanding service, in my experience.
Recently, I made a request that I admitted to myself, as I wrote
it, was probably asking too much: I requested an extended listing
of performer's voice types for a recent Naxos release where this
information wasn't available by conventional cataloging sources.
Not only wasn't my request treated as excessive by Naxos USA, they
went beyond my request by compiling a hand-typed list of not only
the twenty-some performer's vocal types, but also their other theatrical
activities. And they apologized for the modest amount of time it
took, and promised to update me if they discovered any of their
information was in error.
I was astounded. Naxos has, if it was possible, made me an even
more loyal customer.
A great catalog of recordings and great customer service: no wonder
Naxos is such a phenomenon in the recording industry.
Brava! Bravi! Bravissimo!!!
Warmest regards and thanks.

My email is in reference to the email sent by J.M. from Toronto,
Ontario, Canada on January 11, 2003 . J.M. was inquiring about whether
Naxos would record the complete Milhaud symphonies. The reply was
that there was no plan for that. CPO has issued a 5 CD boxed set
of the complete Milhaud symphonies. I thoroughly enjoy them. I don't
feel badly recommending CPO to this Naxos buyer since Naxos distributes
CPO.
I must say that I am a huge fan of Naxos. I have purchased over
340 Naxos CDs in the past 2 years. Your label enables me to explore
with abandon. I especially like the Japanese and American Classics
series, Guitar Laureate and anything French. I have also expanded
my knowledge of opera and the 18th Century symphony. I began my
Naxos love affair by collecting the complete 15 volume set of Chopin
piano music by Idil Biret. I am also making Naxos converts out of
my music-loving friends.
Keep up the terrific work. I intend to keep buying Naxos and Marco
Polo until the day I die!

I am hoping that you will consider recording, perhaps as part of
your splendid American Music series, Samuel Barber's opera Antony
and Cleopatra.
A friend just sent me a recent Times article about the work, and
I just read several listener reviews of the one recording available
through amazon.com. In a nutshell, it seems as if the original version
is the better of the two, but the shorter, revised version has a
great love duet missing in the original. Perhaps you could combine
the two to come up with an operatic performance that does justice
to Shakespeare's wonderful (and wonderfully long) original and also
contains that duet.
By the way, I am a big Naxos fan and have been telling all my friends
to sign up with H&B Direct and check out your catalog. Keep up the
fine work, which is a music lover's dream!

Thank you so very much for the Naxos label as it has helped me
enormously in establishing a wonderful CD collection (or the beginnings
of one). I now have over 950 classical CDs (as I only like classical
music whether it be early or contemporary) and 80 per cent of them
are Naxos CDs (all of which are excellent). Praise cannot be too
high for your CDs, not just the wide range of music but the lovely
artwork and informative notes on your CDs. Each month I await eagerly
your new releases and each quarter your newsletter. The only problem
is that I wish to buy all your new releases each month; they are
that tempting! I usually just stick to about four or five, though!
Seriously, your wide range of repertoire is so exciting that it
just puts all other labels in the shade. I do not know what the
majors are playing at, charging so much for their new releases (which
normally number about 1 or 2 a month, if that). Their budget labels
are so boring as well, just old stuff re-packaged for the umpteenth
time with boring covers and usually no notes or very little, talk
about short changing the customer! Please carry on with all the
good work at Naxos, and I hope you will continue to serve the public
for a good number of years to come, because if you don't we are
all done for! Sincere wishes for the future and congratulations
for achieving such an enterprising label.

I feel that I have to sit down here and write you a note about
the "American Classics" series of recordings. I've always been attracted
to this music, and have found that most recordings of it left me
disappointed, both in terms of their scarcity, and their usual lackluster
performances.
With some trepidation, I bought your CD of Walter Piston Violin
Concertos, and was thoroughly delighted with it; it's extremely
well-recorded, and performed with energy and conviction. Since then,
I've bought a good two dozen titles in the series, and have gotten
truly excited about the prospect of getting more of them. To me,
you're not only releasing some exciting classical music, you're
preserving a great part of the American heritage.
I sure hope there's more of Roy Harris' music in preparation.
The disc you've already issued is perhaps the best anthology of
his music I've ever heard. I'm sure you're already preparing a disc
of Roger Sessions' music as well, but if you're not, please consider
it.

The Naxos site is undoubtedly my favourite destination on the
Internet, in fact I visit the site almost every day. There is always
something to interest me. I like to dip into the composer and artist
profiles and to look at the composer images, many of them were just
names and music to me and it is good to put a face to them. I read
the Norman Lebrecht articles with interest and like to take part
in the mini-polls and the competitions. Probably the greatest thrill
is being able to sample almost any of the tracks from the various
collections and recording labels listed on the site; in general
the whole thing is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in
music and the people behind the music making.
It seems churlish to ask for more when so much is already so freely
given, but I would like to see more news content particularly in
regard of recordings in progress. For instance, I recall reading,
some months ago, (in the BBC Music Magazine) about a new recording
of Walton's Belshazzars's Feast, I think with Paul Daniel and the
Leeds Festival Chorus, I've seen nothing since and I'm sure that
apart from this project there must be many more that would whet
the appetite of music addicts such as I.
Something else that I feel would be of interest would be a definitive
list of Naxos et al best sellers world-wide, by this I don't mean
that the listings should include anything released by other recording
companies, just a taking into account of HNH products and the labels
distributed by HNH.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all concerned with
your company for the many hours of enjoyment and the resource for
learning you have provided me with for a great number of years now.

I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how much I appreciate
the Naxos website. It is easy to use, and there is very copious
information for me to peruse. I visit almost every week.
It was through the website that I first became really aware of
Naxos. I was searching for biographical information on composers
using a search engine, and was pointed to pages on Naxos' website
several times. This prompted me to poke around a bit, and after
I found out I was looking at a record company's website I noticed
that I had already acquired some Naxos CDs, a fact had eluded me
previously as I was focusing on composers, not record labels.
I highly appreciate that Naxos makes the complete contents of
CDs available for online listening by registered users (only limited
by copyright restrictions in a few rare cases). All other companies
I know of only make snippets of various sizes available which doesn't
let me fully judge the CD contents. Thanks to Naxos I don't have
to buy a pig in a poke. The quality of the online recordings is
above average, and the streaming works extremely well with my 56K
dialup connection.
As a consequence, I am now systematically looking for Naxos recordings
and have increased the proportion of Naxos CDs as a part of my total
CD purchases. I am interested in 17th and 18th century composers,
including some "esoteric" areas such as organ music. Naxos has recordings
of lesser known composers such as the organ music of Johann Gottfried
Walther that are hard to get elsewhere.
Keep up the good work.

I am an avid Naxos buyer. I find that your catalogue is quite
overwhelming with a wide selection of music. One composer that has
been overlooked in most classical catalogues is Darius Milhaud.
I would be overjoyed if you would record his complete symphonic
cycle. Other composers that deserve attention are Eduard Tubin and
George Lloyd. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

I bought your new release of Michael Torke's music (Rapture) yesterday,
and I just wanted to thank you for supporting contemporary American
composers like Michael. The music is excellent, and I still can't
believe how you produce such great performances at such a low cost.
