Roger Hect provided some detailed information supporting his position that
ARG reviews Naxos releases in a fair manner as it does releases from any
other label. Personally, I can't see why anyone would think otherwise.
Any biases I think I've seen in ARG are just "natural" ones on the part of
individual reviewers - no "corporate" biases.
Overall, Naxos gets fine treatment from the review periodicals. I think
that both ARG and Fanfare reviewers are hardest on the major label releases
from the big names. That's also natural, given that the expectations would
be high.
