When we first made the point that NML –with its daring and expansive coverage of the classical repertoire and heralded performance quality –is a much better music collection than most libraries could manage to assemble from scratch, we had no idea that Naxos could improve on the original in such  dramatic fashion. Right from its initial release, Naxos Music Library was one of the most impressive products we had ever reviewed, but with an exquisite jazz archive, an acclaimed spoken word library, and an invaluable sheet music collection added to the mix, about all we can do is recalibrate our standard for excellence and hope that we can upgrade our subscription.

This product is an example of what results when web technology blends with high-quality digital content. Since its inception in 1987, Naxos has distinguished itself as the world's premiere label for budget classical CDs. While its roster of artists and ensembles might not score high in name recognition, creative excellence is Naxos's hallmark.

"Naxos Music Library is one of the best examples of what can result when Internet Technology is imaginatively blended with high-quality digital content. With a broadband connection and the near-CD quality option selected, the audio quality of the Naxos Music Library is excellent, at least by Internet standards.

Although reviewed only days after its release, Naxos Music Library is already one of the most impressive products we have seen. It is a much better classical music collection, in breadth of coverage and performance quality, than most libraries could ever afford to assemble and manage, and it is growing (and diversifying) at an impressive rate. The Naxos Music Library is an exceptionally well-realized product that most libraries would be thrilled to offer and listeners fortunate to experience.

Naxos recordings figure prominently among the annual best-of-the-year lists, and over 650 Naxos CDs have been awarded three stars by the authoritative Penguin Guide to Compact Discs."

"The sound quality is obviously the best that present technology readily permits."

"No longer will librarians have to buy or catalog individual CDs, nor will they have to contend with stolen music. The Naxos library will potentially expose kids to a wealth of music they might never have heard."

- Meg McCaffrey, School Library Journal, "Plenty of Music, No Hassle", April 4, 2004

"This glimpse into the future that's here was prompted by coming across the Naxos Music Library, at www.naxosmusiclibrary.com, streamed from the company's Hong Kong site. It is the most comprehensive collection of classical music available online for now. A big advantage: you can read program and biographical information while listening to the music, instead of jeopardizing your sight with the tiny font used in the usually insufficient documentation included with CDs."
