I have found that the chamber music recordings on Naxos are very well
performed. The Haydn string quartets and the Shostakovich string quartets
are well played and a bargin at $5 per CD. I did not like the performances
of the Bruckner symphonies or the Shostakovich symphonies. The Barber of
Seville was outstanding. Naxos is a mixed bag to be sure, but then again,
so is DG or Sony.
