T.D. Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 I got that e-mail too. Clicked on the link, but it pertains to Naxos releases. Caveat emptor. Quote
7/4 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 I guess all I have is a Feldman disk. They're so cheap, I don't think it would hurt to check out others. Quote
BeBop Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks T.D. I hadn't honed in on the limitations. Quote
T.D. Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 You're welcome, BeBop. No offense originally intended on my part; many people swear by Naxos, but I've never been fond of the label. In recent years, however, Naxos has reissued a number of discs that were originally recorded by other labels (Schwartz on Delos comes to mind, and I think the Feldman string quartet (1979) was originally on Koch; I used to own it, but it was my least favorite Feldman recording and one of only two I ever sold...), so there may have been an uptick in quality.

BeBop Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 I found a few of the Naxos jazz recordings to be good-or-better, but frankly can't think of a Naxos classical title in my collection. And for Naxos, $6 isn't a steep discount over typical market prices. Quote
