This confuses me a little. The wording on the page you've cited says "ANY USE OF THIS MATERIAL SEPARATE FROM THE NML SERVICE MUST BE LICENSED THROUGH NAXOS SEPARATELY. NO SECONDARY EXPLOITATION LICENSE, IS IMPLIED OR GRANTED."

That sounds like using the audio as, for example, a background to even a non-commercial web page would be a violation.

But then IMSLP (I think) adds, "BY CLICKING ON ANY LINK BELOW, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE ABOVE AND THAT YOU WILL USE NAXOS MUSIC LIBRARY ONLY FOR PERSONAL NON-COMMERCIAL USES...."

I'm not sure, then, what personal non-commercial uses are allowed except for listening to the recordings on one's own personal computer (or other device).

And, then, at the bottom of the page there is an added reference, "Content is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License...," (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/, which seems to be a separate general license that permits its material to be used in almost any way, including commercial use. It seems unclear what the relationship is between the NAXOS project and CCA-SA.

The NAXOS recordings seems to be listed separate from the CCA-SA recordings and, while you can play the NAXOS versions, you can only download the ones in the "Recordings" list, which seem to be CCA-SA-licensed mp3 tracks.

All worth exploring further.
