- Apple launches a streaming platform dedicated solely to classical music
- This is the largest catalog in the world for this genre.
- Only Apple Music subscribers can access it
Discreetly and without revealing the slightest press release for the moment, Apple has just presented its Apple Music Classical app, which had been previewedapproaching for several weeks. The principle is more or less the same as that of Apple Music, with one difference: here, the catalog is limited only to classical music. This being accessible, as on the original platform, unlimited and on all devices of the Apple firm, we suppose. Indeed, for the moment, only the iOS client has appeared on the App Store, where it is possible to pre-order it. As the developer specifies, the content thereof “can change” with the release date, planned at28 marsnext.
The quick presentation video published by Apple adds that you must be subscribed to an Apple Music plan to benefit from Apple Music Classical. But not just any: in fact, the Voice offer is left aside here, with its low price of only 4.99 euros per month. Subscription for students to5.99 euros per month, the one for a single user at 10.99 euros per month and the one for families at 16.99 euros per month, on the other hand, are indeed eligible for Apple Music Classical.

What to expect?
According to screenshots available on the App Store, Apple Music Classical should allow you to choose your music based on the album or artist. With the platform, it will also be possible to create your ownplaylists.
Among the artists who should be present in the catalog, we find the composerBeethoven, cellist ShekuKanneh-Masonor the American pianist and conductor StephenKovacevich. To find out more, we will have to wait until next month, but we can already assume that all the classical music productions that are already available on Apple Music will also be available on Apple Music Classical. The story does not say whether it will be mandatory to switch from the first app to the second to continue listening to these titles, but it is unlikely.

No limit
According to the publisher, Apple Music Classical will offer the largest catalog of classical music in the world, ahead ofthat of SpotifySO. We can then, in theory, expect to discover several million titles there. On Apple Music, today, we already find great successes like those of AntonioVivaldi, de Pyotr IlyichTchaikovskyor from FrédéricChopin.
