Although The Leading Note is primarily a print music store, we do carry a comprehensive selection of Naxos CDs to complement the print music sections in the store. Unlike most CD stores, the CDs are arranged by instrument and are physically located with the corres-ponding print music sections.

The rationale for carrying Naxos CDs:

• the quality of the Naxos recordings seems to keep improving over the years - a surprising number of recordings have won accolades from the major CD review magazines.

• Naxos CDs are excellent value ($8.95 for single CDs) - they are inexpensive enough that it encourages people to take a chance on repertoire for which they may not feel like forking out $20.

• because they are so inexpensive, we can stock the more esoteric repertoire within our sections.
