etc, etc.  Very nice- how does Naxos do it? Does Klaus get a subsidy from
a secret classical music enthusiast of Gatesean wealth? I also reflect that
much of this good stuff will never surface in the local Tower Records or
Borders.  Neither apparently feels the slightest obligation to keep
anything like an up to date inventory of Naxos.  Which leaves mail order.

 [Keep in mind that the list Richard provided was both Naxos (budget-priced)
 and Marco Polo (full-priced) releases.  It is amazing what they do on
 Naxos though.  Goes to show you how many musicians - many of them
 excellent - are eager to be heard.  -Dave]
