Klaus Heymann has built NAXOS into one of the world's largest classical music labels. Based in Hong Kong, NAXOS has developed a business model that has led to growth in classical music sales and downloads in a time when sales of physical recordings are generally in decline. KBIA's Trevor Harris recently visited with NAXOS's founder and President Klaus Heymann. Here is their conversation about the economics and politics of recording and distributing classical music in the 21st century.

Trevor is a former KBIA announcer and producer. Trevor has - since 2019 - worked to preserve life stories through his business, The Recollection Agency. He also produces the Missouri history podcast Mo' Curious.
