Daily News | Apple’s new classical music streaming service has a Philly accent — and some flaws
32 minutes ago
You can’t download directly, only stream; it’s supposed to synchronize with your existing Apple Music library, and doesn’t ; it’s currently available only on iPhone. Classical music, because of its age and size, may be the deep end of the musical pool. We Philadelphians, however, can wade into it with an advantage. Put the city’s name in the Apple Music Classical search field and feel the civic pride. You get not just thousands of tracks of the Philadelphia Orchestra, but also our choirs and early-music groups — and of course, performers past and present from Marian Anderson to Jonathan Biss.
Apple Music Classical doesn’t say it is looking at this trend. But clearly it’s trying to draw in newbies while providing a deep catalog for aficionados. Artist-curated playlists such as one by Sheku Kanneh-Mason do double duty.
