Label Maker
Naxos, the low-budget, high-volume classical record label, has been one of the few success stories in an embattled corner of the record industry over the last decade. The company is quietly expanding its reach in the music world, and a major new project has it commissioning, recording, and promoting a series of ten new string quartets from the British composer Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. But is the label (or its artists) making any money? Justin Davidson, classical music critic of Newsday, drops by to shed some light on the topic.
