Naxos Of Canada Ltd

General information

Naxos has developed from being known primarily as a budget label focusing on standard repertoire into a virtual encyclopaedia of classical music with a catalogue of unparalleled depth and breadth. Innovative strategies for recording exciting new repertoire with exceptional talent have enabled the Naxos label to develop one of the largest and fastest-growing catalogues of unduplicated repertoire. Some 9,000 titles are currently available at affordable prices, recorded in state-of-the-art sound, both in hard format and on digital platforms. Naxos works with artists of the highest calibre and its recordings have been recognised with numerous Grammy® awards, Penguin Guide 3-star recommendations, Gramophone Editor’s Choice Awards and many other international honours.

With its suite of subscription streaming platforms, Naxos continues as a leader and innovator, particularly in the area of education. NaxosMusicLibrary.com is used by thousands of educational institutions around the world. With over 120,000 albums from hundreds of labels and more than 1,000 albums being added every month, it has become the listening source of choice for generations of students as they explore classical music. Together with the Naxos Video, Jazz, World Music and Spoken Word libraries, its online resources have had a great impact in developing future audiences for these genres.

The Naxos label also has gained stature by pioneering groundbreaking projects like the American Classics series.

All this, together with the development of a range of apps and ebooks, demonstrates the Naxos commitment to providing the best possible access to recorded classical music in the world.
