Naxos is one of about 3 companies that I follow which offers free classical music. Naxos is better than the other couple of companies in a couple or so ways. One is that they provide entire albums, not just a few movements or something. On top of that, every time that they offer a new freebie, they actually offer three of them, from which a person gets to choose one. Oh, and for the true audiophile, they offer them in the superior-quality flac format (that's the only format that they offer for the freebies, by the way).
Here are the newest choices of free albums from Naxos:
Debussy: Orchestral Works, Vol. 1.
Faure/Ravel: String Quartets.
Berlioz: Cantatas.
True students of classical music may notice that each one of the albums is somehow connected with the great country of France:
France has featured significantly in the news recently, profiled by its management of a range of international issues, from terrorist events to sporting tournaments. In 1789, the country similarly filled the world's consciousness as the French Revolution rolled back the status quo and ushered in a new ordering of society, a historic development that is celebrated each year on 14 July, Bastille Day. So we invite you to choose one of the three fine Naxos discs detailed below to help mark that day. They all have the distinctive flavour of France, so bon appétit as you make your choice! – Klaus Heymann
You can find much more information about each one of the albums, preview each piece on the albums (my favorite strategy, however, is to listen to the entire album on my free Spotify account), and download the album of your choice, by pointing your web browser to [see Manabi's post below].
Don't you just love free stuff?
