Glossa Music is based in the San Lorenzo de El Escorial mountains near Madrid. Founded in 1992 by brothers José Miguel and Emilio Moreno and directed since 1995 by Carlos Céster, this record company specialises in historically informed performance. One of its most salient current projects is the recording of the works of Claudio Monteverdi by La Venexiana.

Coviello Classics is a German production company managed by recording producers Olaf Mielke and Moritz Bergfeld. A particular focus is the well-established contemporary series, which features very recent compositions from the world-famous Darmstadt Institute for New Music. The label also boasts recordings of chamber, orchestral and vocal music, including opera.

Accent Records, founded in 1978 by Adelheid and Andreas Glatt, is a Belgian record company. The label releases classical music ranging from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries, with particular emphasis on music from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Naxos Music Library has an iPhone (and now iPad, too!) application to allow you to listen to Naxos on the go, even on devices without Flash.  The app is linked to student playlists, so follow the instructions below to check it out:

Students (users) have the ability to create a student playlist account and build their own, private playlists. To do this, they need to access the NML as usual, click on the Playlist tab at the top of the page, then click “Sign-up.” The user will be asked to enter his/her name, email address, and to create a password. Once (s)he has created a student playlist account, (s)he will be able to login to the account and build an unlimited number of playlists from any piece within the Naxos Music Library. (Playlists are limited to 60 tracks or 4 hours–whichever comes first–for loading and streaming optimization.) The same login will be used for both the student playlist account AND the iPhone app. While the NML app version 2.0 allows users to search and stream as if logged in on their computer, building and editing playlists must still be done on a computer.

More information, pictures, and FAQ’s can be found on our blog: NaxosMusicLibrary.blogspot.com

Professors may also create a Student Playlist account, build their own, personal playlists, and access those in addition to the institutional playlists on their iPhone.
