Naïve's compilation album Classique & Zen offers no explanation of the relationship between the two concepts other than the simple direction, "You are free to be Zen." The lack of specificity in no way detracts from the effectiveness of the CD and its artful presentation. It stands out from many of the other collections with the goal of inducing a ...
This is a two-disc collection of music, either recorded on France's Naïve label or acquired by that label, that arose in Vienna during the years on either side of 1900. It might be argued that the music of the Viennese fin de siècle was all about extremes -- of length, of concision, of orchestration -- and that the best way to appreciate the ...

It is intriguing to observe what's similar in this budget release from the fine French label Naïve, and what's different. Would Americans, even ...
The inevitable follow-up to Anne Gastinel and François-Frederic Guy's earlier recording of three of Beethoven's Sonatas for Cello and Piano is their recording of Beethoven's other two Sonatas plus his three sets of variations for cello and piano.
