Again: my question remains not answered: How would using a different font add any expense to a Naxos release? Zilch. And it remains a legitimate question. [Yet, not a classical music question. -Dave] Sure sure, its about the music! But if it is indeed not about the cover art, you can ask Klaus to use bar codes with typed titles. That would REALLY push the cost of the cds to almost free. As for the Hyperion versus Naxos: let's not forget the pricer Marco Polo label (at about the same cost of a Hyperion CD) that uses the dreaded TR font at the Hyperion expense. Never mind the issue that there is much on Hyperion that's not available anywhere else. Period! I point to the Vivaldi Sacred Music Series. Their Liszt piano music series with Leslie Howard. I also mentioned other fine labels such as DG-Archiv, or CPO (which by the way Naxos distributes here in the US) that don't seem to make it an either or case as you do. In the day of albums, there were many fine labels that had quality notes, art work and fine music. Nonesuch, Turnabout, Crossroads, Westminister Gold among them. Considering how many cds Hyperion has released, I doubt seriously that half of them are in the cut out bin in your local Tower's. As a side note: I see alot of unmoved Naxos in our Manhattan Tower's. But I don't gather from that it means Naxos isn't selling well. Some of the rather unfair claims made by Naxo's creative PR dept have been discussed here in this forum, so I will not repeat them. See, I don't believe its an either or case. I am a big fan of Naxos cds, but they are still ugly. Kim Patrick Clow
