One thing I like about NAXOS, BIS, Koch, Albany, Hyperion, Telarc and other labels like that is that they seem to really CARE about classical music; their performance and production values are high also. I feel bad about Chandos, which didn't make it, for reasons I don't know. Another thing I like about most of these labels is that they are interested in recording new repertoire, not just marketing the same old stuff (read "received canon") with emphasis on promoting high priced artists, as the "majors" do.
