Qobuz is there since years and it’s perfect, no need to have the Apple clone which is not even integrate with their other app… try one more time Apple, this first step is just to put the X on the checkbox, not really to provide a quality service

Stumbling on college marching band performances was a surprise. There seems to be more content than the music app had at all, not just the formatting and search engine. “Non-classical” music could benefit from the information also for covers of songs. It seemed like the truncation issue was primarily due to the music app being in portrait mode and would be easily solved be flipping to a landscape mode for the full title.

The lack of shuffle as an option, at least in playlists, is absolutely absurd. Playlists NEED shuffle. I might like the style of a playlist but there is likely not a story or any flow between pieces. So if I return to the playlist that I like, I won’t want to keep hearing the same 10 songs over and over when there is so much more in there to hear

A separate app for classical music makes a lot of sense, because all existing music apps, at least since iTunes, organize music by Artist>Album>Song

Not really interested in classical music but if I were I think it should’ve been integrated in the main app rather then being it’s own app.

I’m very pleased with the app. The classical music experience on Apple Music is poor and woeful on Spotify. I like the interface and and also the quality of reproduction on decent headphones. More recent recordings generally have better quality- not a surprise really. I’m assuming it will come to iPad and Mac in time, which will be nice. Thanks for your film. V good.

The searching and browsing (and finding new stuff) is great. I add a lot of albums to my collection – so many I lost track (!). So I turned them into playlists and folders in AM. Cumbersome workaround. If only we could put albums into folders in our collections. One folder for my Saturday morning chill favs, one album for Beethoven, one album for my music video project, (whatever) etc. Then it would be perfect and we would need just the one app. Oh and downloads of course.

I’ve been an Apple Music subscriber for some years now and I listen to classical music quite often. I did download the new Classical app and I really like it. I still prefer how I have it arranged on Apple Music but I’m learning to navigate the new app and so far, I approve.
The only thing Apple needs to do is to format it for iPad. I stream/listen to all my music on my iPad (and MacBook) and it would be nice to have a full screen version of it. And it’s all available in a lossless format too!

The app is a good start, this review sums up the downsides well. I just wonder why they couldn’t integrate all this in the original music app. If Apple Music wouldn’t be so focused on pop music, no matter how much your listening behavior shows you’re not into it, this could be done.

Bridget is the best. Over the years she has produced some of CNET’s finest and most memorable videos. This one is among them. Cleverly filled with what she calls ‘cringe worthy’ puns, she claims to be an outsider but actually presents the new app with authority. No small feat given the more than one hundred years’ worth of classical recordings available. I look forward to checking out the app.

“If you have the speakers to enjoy (Spacial Audio)”? You might want to remind people that Apple Classical’s Spacial Audio tracks also work extremely well with many headphones especially things like the AirPod Pro.

Being a huge apple fanboy and also being a composer. I’m so happy to see my professional world and my favorite past-time (because I spend a lot of time consuming Apple news and meddling with their products) come together. I really love how Bridget divided the sections of the video in the sonata form. So glad to see my favorite tech channels talking about classical music. So far this was the best.

Search function does favorably compare to Idagio and really appreciate the large selection of hi-res. However there is little to no mention of AMC’s lack of album booklets. If Tidal & Idagio can do it, so can Apple.
Ethan Menzel
April 1, 2023 at 6:44 pm
Are you saying search is better than adagio or on the same level or worse
Eddie G
April 1, 2023 at 7:40 pm
@Ethan Menzel I think that apple’s was pretty well conceived for a first go. Still not the same level of granularity as Idagio, such as filtering from a list of instruments, etc.

April 1, 2023 at 6:30 pm
I love the app. I was is was using concertino before, which is very similar. Their are a few bugs in Apple Music Classical where the music will randomly pause, restart the music from the beginning, or clears what I was listening to, making me have to refind the music. Very frustrating, but with Apple music, and this is easily fixable. I am. Pleasantly waiting for apple music classical to come to mac as I am a massive fan of classical music and am discovering new music I never thought I’d listen to or find. I also wish places like playlists had a shuffle button and the app had liking entire pieces or albums, but it doesn’t. Everything I have issues with or feature suggestions can be easily avoided by going to the main apple music app to do it.
Ethan Menzel
April 1, 2023 at 6:35 pm
I can kind of see apple combining the two apps in the future and having an advanced search for classical music and having the classical music info when you click on the lyrics for a classical music piece
Ethan Menzel
April 1, 2023 at 6:42 pm
There seems to be some nonclassical artists that show up, like Elton john, billy joel, the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and tony Bennette. , They are in the apple classical music app, but their music isn’t their vocal stuff but more instrumental covers. I understand they are categorized as artists because it’s their melody or instrumentals, but someone else, like an orchestra, covers their music. It needs a better way to section off the cover pieces from the real classical musicians.

To me the classical app is the first worthwhile addition since the introduction of the Apple Watch There is a lot that could be done with it to make more relevant to Apple users I hope they move some of these designers that come up with bigger batteries and better cameras on this project I think podcasts could be great addition I still miss all those classical radio stations that we used to have or even tv shows back in the days dedicated to classical music
Gary Morrison
April 2, 2023 at 7:40 am
This is the most useful description of the new app so far! Thanks.
In most pop-oriented music platforms, if you say, “I want to hear, say, Mozart’s Gran Partita in Bb,” they basically reply, “huh?” The Classical app instead responds with “whose interpretation do you want to hear?” and “here’s the history of this composition and this recording.” That makes a huge difference in the experience!
Roger Norrington and Herbert von Karajan interpreting Beethoven’s Ninth are very-different musical adventures!
I was not previously subscribed to Apple Music, but Apple Classical was enough to tip me over the edge.

April 2, 2023 at 11:28 am
I love it so far….Listen Now is a great starting place when you don’t know what you want to listen to…Spatial suggestions…better search…knowing that a track is likely a movement of a complete piece…complete titles that aren’t truncated by the screen size…other streaming services just don’t measure up to classical requirements….even Roon and Tidal have their problems.
Edward Imbier
April 2, 2023 at 1:27 pm
Thanks Bridget, for the punny review. The Classical app seems to share the same difficulty in finding things, just like in mail apps and the Mac Finder, where tons of mail, articles, and files archived and categorized. Truncated descriptions or not having a large enough view of the text when searching for that elusive thing you are looking for is a problem.

Pro Tip – you can Airplay audio from your iOS device to your Mac and the bandwidth for Airplay is wide enough to handle a lossless audio stream (as opposed to Bluetooth, which is a much narrower pipe). Bit of a workaround for certain, but I can use my fancy headphones that plug directly into my Mac for listening to Apple Classical.

Great presentation Bridget, as ever. It’s a great app for finding music and performances I had lost touch with over the years, the collection is immense and search works brilliantly. That said, actually playing the music is a bit clunky, like restarting if I take a phone call, changing my mind and backing out to listen to one of the other performances that came up in my search just doesn’t work, and sometimes it just hangs. Sound quality is great on my AirPods Pro 2. Thanks for the tip for downloading through the Music app. Good enough already for me to subscribe for the first time and I’m sure the bugs will be sorted in no time.
