We have always marveled at the power of mass media. Whatever
industry we are in, each of us has surely depended on the radio,
print publications or TV to sell our ideas, products or
services, at least more than once. With the sudden surge of
technological developments, the Internet introduced a different
level to communication in probably all industries. It made the
impossible not just possible, but even easily accessible.

Not too long ago, Asian cuisine was alien to those of us from
the other parts of the globe. Now it is the toast in
international gourmet. Most chefs attribute this to the rapid
growth of technology, particularly the use of the web,
worldwide.

A number of years back, distance education was just that - a
distant idea. Today, we can learn from an overseas institution
without stepping in the campus for every class. All we need is a
PC or laptop and an Internet connection.

This new medium is also complementing greatly our music
industry. Streaming service and web radio sites are now
available for fans of all music genres, from pop to rock to R&B
to jazz - and even to classical music.

While major marketing forces in the industry believe in the need
to bring in pop opera groups to sell classical works and to
reach out to the modern world, Naxos.com brings to the Internet
classical music in its purest form, including operas, concertos,
compilations of various artists' best performances and so much
more. This web site was established by the world's leading
classical music label, Naxos, so that anyone who wants to listen
to classical music may do so in superior sound quality and at
affordable rates.

Aside from its wide selection of classical music, Naxos.com also
carries premium CDs from the genres of jazz, blues, world and
new age music. Naxos.com currently offers over 5,000 CDs to
choose from and adds 50 new releases every month to its
catalogue. In addition to Naxos and Marco Polo, Dacapo, First
Edition, Artek, Andante, Profil, Arthaus DVD, BBC/Opus Arte DVD,
TDK DVD, EuroArts DVD, Juxtapositions DVD, and Amadis and other
excellent independent labels are available at <a
href="http://www.naxos.com/">Naxos.com</a>.

We can also learn from this site interesting facts about the
artists, composers and their musical works. It even provides
opera synopses and libretti and basic introduction to classical
music. This educational component of Naxos.com helps the
audience understand more about classical music and completely
appreciate its selections.

Naxos.com's services do not end here. Naxos Web Radio,
www.naxosradio.com, is available for those of us who would like
to get access to over 60 channels of this high-quality music in
the classical, jazz and other genres. Music institutions and
educators can get both online streaming and valuable educational
content through subscription at the <a
href="http://www.naxosmusiclibrary.com/">Naxos Music Library</a>.

Indeed, Naxos has been redefining how classical music is
presented and marketed for twenty years. More so with its
rapidly growing presence on the Internet, Naxos proves itself
worthy of what the Los Angeles Times has called it - an industry
leader in the digital distribution of classical music.
