NAXOS WINS LABEL OF THE YEAR AWARD AT
CLASSIC FM/GRAMOPHONE AWARDS
"Naxos has combined imaginative A&R
with its philosophy of offering great music at affordable
prices. Which all makes for a winning combination - classical
music enthusiasts can't really go wrong!" - Gramophone
"Why pay £15 for a classical CD
when you can get a better one for a third of the cost from
the budget label Naxos?"- The Guardian
On Thursday 29 September Naxos
was delighted to accept the coveted Label of the Year
Award at The Classic FM/Gramophone Awards ceremony.
The Award was presented to the Managing Director
of Naxos UK, Anthony Anderson, at London’s Dorchester Hotel.
On receiving the Award Anthony Anderson said: “This Award
is, above all, a welcome recognition of Naxos’ unique achievement
in facilitating consumer access to an ever-increasing range
of classical repertoire.”
The Classic FM/Gramophone Label of the Year
Award recognizes outstanding achievement in the past 12
months, imaginative A & R and an impressive commitment
to expanding the record catalogue. It also acknowledges
a dedication to offering value for money and a visionary
approach to digital distribution and music education.
It is not difficult to see why the judges
on the Classic FM/Gramophone panel chose Naxos for this
cherished award. Not only is Naxos highly committed to British
and American music but it has developed several series that
push back the boundaries of the recorded catalogue. Such
series include the 21st Century Classics,
bringing music of our day to a wider public; the Japanese
Classics - a ground-breaking survey of foremost 20th
century composers from Japan; an 18th Century
Concert/Symphony series seeking to make known many of
the neglected gems from the time of Haydn to Mozart as well
as the Organ Encyclopedia which combines the best
of today’s organists with the main organ repertoire and
top instruments. This astonishing array of repertoire
remains readily accessible to the public through Naxos’
consumer-friendly price.
James Jolly, editor
of The Gramophone, saluted Naxos and its “visionary
zeal”:
“Few record companies have redefined the experience
of buying CDs as dramatically as Naxos. In the company's
18-year history, it has united countless people with a quite
staggering breadth of music. This year was a particularly
rich one for Naxos garnering more Editor's Choices than
ever before and filling in corners of the repertoire that
other companies leave untouched. Its electronic and online
presence with Naxos Web Radio and the Naxos Music Library
show that the label's visionary zeal remains as acute as
ever. Naxos has won many friends among music lovers down
the years and The Gramophone is delighted to add
itself to list of the company's many admirers.”
Naxos’ forward-looking approach to digital
distribution has meant it has remained at the forefront
of the digital revolution. Being the first classical record
label to digitise its complete catalogue, the label was
not only ready for the advent of digital distribution but
was also able to create the Naxos Music Library,
a subscription service by which users can stream an enormous
range of music on their computer. The Naxos Music Library
now encompasses over 100,000 tracks drawn not only from
the Naxos catalogue but also from other leading independent
labels. It is primarily aimed at educational institutions
and so far subscriptions have been sold to over 100 universities,
schools and libraries throughout the UK. These institutions
include Oxford, Cambridge and Durham Universities plus schools
both from the independent and state sectors (Eton, Harrow,
Charterhouse, Yehudi Menuhin, Purcell).
Naxos Web Radio - which can be found
on the website www.naxosradio.com
- is another example of Naxos’ creative approach to digital
distribution. It offers over 60 channels of continuous music
which can be streamed to the consumer for a small annual
subscription fee. Naxos recordings can also readily be found
on the main music download sites. In the UK these already
include iTunes, Napster, HMV and Virgin with more to follow
in the months to come.
From the outset Naxos has been dedicated
to music education. The Chairman of Naxos, Klaus
Heymann, recognised the importance of introducing new people
to classical music and thus building the audience of tomorrow.
Recent educational initiatives have included The A to Z
of Classical Music and A to Z of Opera (mini musical dictionaries
+ 2CDs); the Life and Works series (4CD audio documentaries
narration + music); the Instruments of the Orchestra (a
7CD introduction to the orchestra) and Opera Explained (a
series of single CDs which put the most famous operas into
their historical and musical context).
Two Awards for Naxos AudioBooks at
The Spoken Word Awards
London 2005
Naxos AudioBooks won two awards at
the annual award ceremony run by the UK's Audio Publishing
Association. For the second time in four years, it scooped
one of the key awards - Publisher of the Year - and Aled
Jones, the charismatic reader of The Story of Classical
Music won The Radio Times Readers' Choice Award.
"The Publisher of the Year award is one
of the toughest to win - especially for an independent company
like Naxos AudioBooks," said founder and MD
Nicolas Soames. "We are up against all the big labels
with their considerable resources in terms of books and
distribution, and in the best tradition of the indies we
have to be inventive and light on our toes."
He added: I was particularly pleased because
this was the second time in only four years that we have
been selected for this award - we were also Publisher of
the Year in 2001. This year was, I am sure, recognition
of some important recent recordings, including the unabridged
Ulysses, read by Jim Norton and Marcella Riordan,
The Story of Classical Music by Darren Henley read
by Aled Jones for UK release, and The Tempest starring
Ian McKellen, directed by John Tydeman.
The awards were unveiled at the Curzon Cinema,
Mayfair and presented by the veteran BBC TV reporter John
Sergeant. The judging panel drew on a strong core of audiobook
people, including retailers, reviewers and many others closely
involved in the industry.
Introducing the Publisher of the Year, Sergeant
acknowledged the qualities of innovation and consistent
high standards that Naxos AudioBooks exhibited in many of
its recordings.
"We try to look at each recording with
fresh eyes,"said Soames. "Sometimes we can add
extra dimensions with the careful, judicious use of music;
sometimes it is about adding a CD-ROM element, as with Ulysses
and The Story of Classical Music in particular; but
sometimes it is just getting the basics right - good, imaginative
readers presenting great classic texts in good sound, with
elegant packaging and accompanying notes."
Naxos AudioBooks has led the way in
recent months with the new element of extras on CD-ROM.
This, as well as affirmation by reviewers in newspapers
and on radio, has helped to build a loyal audience.
Success in The Radio Times Readers' Choice
Award came as a bit of a surprise. The Radio Times
- the leading UK TV and radio listings magazine – ran a
full page of twenty audiobooks, and the readers were asked
to vote by phone for their choice. Aled Jones and The
Story of Classical Music, a 4-CD set presenting music
from Gregorian chant to the present day, has proved one
of the most popular releases in the Naxos AudioBooks catalogue.
Yet it was still up against strong BBC opposition such as
Michael Palin and Alan Bennett, and the fact that the Radio
Times readers chose Aled says much for the recording
and his own popularity.
"Reading The Story of Classical Music
was a real challenge for me," said Aled. "In recent
years I have done a lot of broadcasting and I have learned
of the power of the voice itself, presented without music.
When it is just your voice, without music or a backing track,
you have to produce all the colour, the energy and the passion
- and that was what I was trying to do with this recording.
And I was helped by the script and the subject matter!"
The Award augurs well for Aled’s latest Naxos
AudioBooks recording, Famous Composers, written
by Darren Henley, which tells in even more detail and with
more illustrative music, the lives of Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart,
Beethoven, Dvorak and Shostakovich. It is a 2-CD set that
is released in October and also has an innovative CD-ROM.
Aled also has another recording out in September
– Moses and other stories from the Old Testament,
a 2-CD set in the Junior Classics series.
