...After his New York debut, New York Concert Review stated: "Kasparas Uinskas has all the ingredients of a great pianist and musician - in his New York recital debut he offered much evidence of the talent that has garnered his impressive start on an international career."

Klaus Heymann says: "When I began Naxos in 1987 the music industry was very different from today. The compact disc was in its infancy and the internet as we know it today didn't exist, difficult though that may be to imagine. Despite the many challenges faced during the online era, there are three key principles to which Naxos remains committed: repertoire, value and innovation. We are all looking forward to this journey as it unfolds over the next twenty-five years."
