回复:下周偶会采访拿索斯老板克劳斯·海曼
偶暂时想到以下这么多问题,大家补充一下啦,时间关系,暂时没有翻译成中文。
1 Could you tell us the experience of starting the lable of Naxos twenty years ago? Do you meet any difficulties when you make the new business? How do you conquer them?
2 Why do you setup the company’s headquarter in HK instead of any other place with great music tradition such as Germany or USA or UK? It is said that most of your company’s CDs are made in Germany instead of HK, could you tell us the reason?
3 Besides the modest outlay, are there any other special advantages of Naxos contribute to the success of your company? It is said that Naxos do not invest too much on advertisement, do you think it is a key factor since cost saving?
4 The label of Marco Polo puts great efforts on promoting Chinese Music. Do you have any plans for Chinese Music records released in future?
5 How do you think of the format of music in future? Naxos place great efforts on new digital delivery formats with Naxos Music Library, do you think music on line will replace traditional CD records in the future? Also how do you think of the future of new formats such as SACD and DVD Audio?
6 You always sign contracts with musicians of modest reputation to make records with Naxos in order to cut cost. How do you select musicians? Do you have your own criteria? Will the strategy be continued? Seems that Naxos start to make records some famous orchestras, such as LSO, LPO, RPO in London.
7 Could you tell us Naxos’ collaboration with HKPO? You use their playbill’s one page for advertising. Will you sponsor orchestras in mainland to do so in order to promote the label in China?
8 I am handling the marketing and importing issue of CD records in Shenzhen, do you have any suggestion of promoting music in the big city just next to HK? Do you think other places’ successful experiances can be transplanted to Shenzhen and China?
9 How do you think of Chinese musicians who record for Naxos? Such as Qian zhou, Ni Haiye, Yu Long, Shao En etc. Do you have any other plans to make records with other Chinese musicians? Especially some young conductors such as Li Xincao and Yang Yang.
10 Naxos has been the agent of many other small labels, such as BIS, Chandos, Hanssler, RR, they also appear on the Naxos Music Library, do you have any plans to add other labels? How do you handle the relationships with them?
11 Naxos has not released records of your wife for some time, could you tell us do you have any plans with her? Your wife’s Butterfly Story received great praise in China. And she was also good at playing many other works.
