Many people think that learning about classical music and the people that create it would require so much time and energy that the prospect of diving in overwhelms them. Naxos, the world’s leading classical label, has mined its vast catalog of recordings (and the brains of its global staff of classical music connoisseurs) to design a new series called “Instant Expert” which is available by download only. Each “Instant Expert” volume focuses on the music of one composer, featuring curated collection of that composer’s greatest hits as well as some unique or historically significant compositions. In addition, each download is accompanied by a podcast hosted by Raymond Bisha, Naxos of America Director of Media Relations, and a booklet containing track information and an abridged biography of the composer.
