A colossal statue of a young man lies unfinished on a hillside on the Greek island of Naxos. The statue, known as a kouros, was one of several abandoned by ancient sculptors for unknown reasons. The sleeping giant of Naxos is a mystery that fascinates archaeologists and tourists alike.

#Symphonies of William Schuman calling out to me. Here's the 7th (and 10th), courtesy of Naxos.

Tianwa Yang's album, Concertos pour violon, released by #Naxos is, in my opinion, a clean enough recording to re-release in HiRes, and would benefit greatly from it. Still sounds great though. This is a really good recording of #Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor. I get so frustrated when a poor recording of Violin Concerto in E minor gets released.
Can the cultural economy be social? Discussing the rural heritage of Greece
In the article, it is argued that community-led governing models, following social and solidarity economy principles within a commons structure, could suggest a viable heritage management option that is worth exploring. ⬇️

This photo was taken in 1991 on holiday in one or other of the #GreekIslands of #Naxos or #Paros . The lady in the photo is my late wife Fara taken the year before we were married. I have no idea who the donkey is, but its job was to carry watermelons to unsuspecting but grateful tourists on the beach below. #asstodon #holidays #photography #travel

The only recording we could find of the Liszt transcription of Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 played by a single pianist, is that by Konstantin Scherbakov on Naxos.
It's wonderful.

LIstening to #ClaudioSantoro - #Symphonies Nos. 11, 12 & Other Orchestral Works, Goiás Philharmonic Orchestra. Just found it on my A&K. Don't remember getting this album at all. It was only released by #Naxos in Nov. 2022, so it it strange that I should forget getting it and that I haven't listened to yet.
Santoro's Concerto Grosso is a hell of a tune to wake up to. It would make perfect Halloween music.

@LoveInnerGeek @classicalmusic I always love that #Naxos releases uncommon stuff like this 😊

A revisit to the weird and wonderful world of Grier Tveitt’s Orchestral music today. I go live this music; it’s a huge pity that 80% of his output was lost, but what we have is very interesting. Both Bis and Naxos have recorded a fair bit! Here are some: @classicalmusic #Tveitt #Bisrecords #Naxos #classicalmusic

@kentalbot Absolutely interested! I am always at a loss to explain their lack of penetration into the consciousness here in the US. Was listening to #MalcolmArnold just this morning, and always rotating through most of the others you named (plus #ArnoldBax #GranvilleBantock and more). Thankful to #Chandos #Naxos #Hyperion and #Argo for providing so many recordings to enjoy.
