- Description
- The Naxos Music Library is an on-line library of more than 75,000 tracks
of music from the catalog of Naxos, a leading classical music label, and
selected additional labels. Although Naxos is best known for its classical
recordings (with more than 200 released each year), the Naxos Music Library also includes
world music,
jazz, and national anthems. All of the Naxos repertoire may be searched in standard/advanced modes
or
browsed in a large number of categories and genres. In addition, Naxos offers a number of
text
resources including overviews of music history, program notes for recordings, and the
complete
libretti of operas available in the Naxos Music Library.
