Nonsense. This is label fascism and unfair pigeon-holing. There is
no earthly reason in the randomness of recording and performing that
Naxos will not end up with a better job than DG or Decca. They have
well rehearsed performers with excellent sound. They have won a
number of penguin rosettes. Probably in the standard repertoire
(Beethoven/Brahms/Mozart etc.) DG and Decca are the best but Naxos has a
far wider ranging catalogue than DG AND Decca put together. I just don't
understand why you would say this.
