Apple recently launched its long-awaited Music Classical service, available to everyone with an active Apple Music subscription. This service is based on Primephonic, a classical music streaming service Apple bought in 2021.
Apple Music Classical is a service that offers the world’s largest classical music catalog. Users can search by composer, work, conductor, and more to quickly find any recording. The app also features curated playlists and composer biographies, allowing users to explore composers, periods, instruments, and more. Users can even get detailed information about what they are listening to.
The only way to subscribe to this service is to have an active Apple Music subscription. If you already have an Apple Music subscription, simply download the Classical app to start listening.
Apple Music Classical is an app created specifically for the iOS platform, meaning you need an iPhone or iPad to take advantage of the app. However, the application is also available in the Google Play Store, allowing users to enjoy it on Android devices. The service is live in every region Apple Music exists, except for Russia and Türkiye.
