And almost all of them purchased only after being reccomended by another CM junky. In the past week I bought Naxos disks of music by Rawsthorne, Bax and Martinu. These aren't exactly household names. Only the Rawsthorne was a shot in the dark, the others had been recommended and the Rawshtorne, while quirky, was still quite enjoyable. Since only Chandos and EMI deliver much in the way of modern English repetoire (and most of the EMI is unavailable in the States), Naxos is not only affordable but is often the only distributor making this music available in the States. My only question is why aren't conductors like David Lloyd-Jones, Kuchar and Tintner taking advantage of their exposure and touring? Given a choice between seeing them conduct and Mehta or Abbado, I know who I would choose. Steve M. (Northern Virginia)
