FRANKLIN, TN--(Marketwire - Feb 2, 2012) - On February 28, Naxos of America will welcome two diverse European labels to its distribution family: Dynamic and Quintone.

Founded in 1978, Dynamic (http://www.dynamic.it/e_home.php) is an independent Italian label located in Genova. Its production embraces the entire field of classical music, but focuses chiefly on the immense heritage of Italian and European music of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, especially opera and violin works. Dynamic seeks to release world-première recordings or rare works that stand outside the bounds of the traditional repertoire. Its catalog boasts over 400 titles, including CD recordings of lesser-known titles by Tchaikovsky, Tartini, Viotti, Piazzolla, Pacini, and DVD releases that include rare works by Rossini, Donizetti, Boito, Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Händel, Massenet, Mozart, Schubert, and Strauss. Dynamic has close to 25 new titles being added every year.

Quintone (http://www.quintone.nl/) is an independent Dutch classical music record label focusing on the release of unique repertoire superbly performed by internationally renowned and promising young musicians alike. In a relatively short time, the label has demonstrated its distinctive character with many well-received projects from the early development of the keyboard concerto via the Bach family, to works by 20^th and 21^st Century Dutch composers like Ton de Leeuw, Marijn Simons, Daan Manneke and Jan Vriend. All Quintone recordings are released in high quality audio.
