Well, just a few days ago, Naxos newsletter subscribers were able to grab a free album of Naxos' choosing. Today they announced their usual second
free classical album of the month offer.
Remember that with this offer, you don't have to be a member of anything, be on their mailing list (although you will find out about this second offer of the month that way), or whatever. If you can fog a mirror, you qualify.
Remember that, with this particular promotion, you get three choices of albums, from which you can get one
free. Let me tell you your choices of
free albums, and then I'll leave you to go exploring on your own. And somewhere along the line you'll have to make the sometimes difficult decision of which one of the three albums that you will select to be your
free one.
Okay, here are the three choices. All of them are formatted in the high-quality flac format:
- Rossini: Complete Overtures, Vol. 2
- Rossini: Piano Music, Vol. 2
- Rossini: The Barber of Seville (Highlights)
Notice anything out of the ordinary? Yep, everything's by Rossini. Why? Well, here is Klaus Heymann, of Naxos', explanation:
We're having a belated boxing day here at Naxos, since this month sees the release of our 4-CD boxed set of Rossini's Overtures. The previously released single volumes all received outstanding international acclaim, so we'd like to indulge you in a riot of Rossini this month by offering a free album download of music from this boxed set. Alternatively you can take your pick from some of his eccentric miniatures for piano, or a selection of grander operatic highlights. And we hope your Happy New Year just got a bit happier!
Unfortunately, I can't give you the webpage, with the choices, directly. If you don't get their newsletter (where there are links), you can go to
this webpage. Click on the orangish-colored button near the top of the webpage that says, "Download One of This Month's Free Albums." If, for some reason, that doesn't take you to
the webpage with the album choices, drill down
the webpage whose URL that I gave above to close to the bottom of the page and you should see another orangish-colored box like the one that I mentioned above. Click on it.
About the only other thing that I guess that I should mention is that the offer will be good until the first part of next month, around the time that the next Naxos promo like this comes out.
Don't you appreciate Naxos for
giving us these great valuable albums? I certainly do.
