Naxos Classical Sampler CD

Naxos is a highly recognized budget classical music label founded by Klaus Heymann. Known for its extensive catalog and high-quality digital recordings, the brand changed the landscape of the classical music industry by making recordings accessible at a lower price point than major labels.

While the label was founded in Hong Kong and maintains its corporate headquarters there, most of its physical product manufacturing for the European market has historically taken place in Germany (e.g., via Sonopress). The brand is a part of the Naxos Music Group, which remains under the ultimate ownership of its founder through various holding structures.
