- Apple Music Classical obtains listening guides, personalized recommendations and editorial reading lists
- These updates are reserved for applications and not for the web browser
- Apple Music Classical remains free for all Apple Music subscribers
If you are an Apple Music subscriber who has never thought of entering its classic Apple Music Apple Music Apple Music and available for download time.
For what? Because Apple Music Classical, the place where Apple Music has housed its massive classical music catalog since its launch in March 2023 (largely to Dolby Atmos), has just added three excellent new features: listening guides, personalized recommendations and – my favorite editorial stations.
The trio of new advantages is exclusive to the application (which is a shame, because this month, Apple Music, has become available on the web), but listening guides are available in more than 100 launch works. It is described by Apple as “a new revolutionary feature that takes users into a notable music work while they listen, highlighting the details and explaining a work in real time by unfolding the sentence by musical sentence”.
Every day is a learning day
I tried it by spreading Wolfie M because nobody calls the extremely prolific composer, who died tragically young) Clarinet concerto in a majorAnd it’s like getting real -time cliffsnots while you are spreading. The text appears happily on my iPhone, mentioning flowering arpeggius, high intense trills and smooth exchanges of the channel section to guide us on a major scale.
It is delicious – I even know now that in 1791, the clarinet was still a relatively new instrument, and that Mozart really wrote this concerto for the bass clarinet. Every day is a day of learning.
Currently, listening guides are available in English, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. But Apple says that more languages and work will be added – and will these writers not have their good job for them? I look forward to it.
The personalized recommendations, on the other hand, do what the name suggests, using your listening history to suggest related offers, as well as new records of works that you previously listened to.
These two advantages are extremely welcome in a genre that seemed to me a little stoic so far (it often looks like the discovery through streaming sites is a little stowed when it comes to classic – we expect to know what you like), but editorial stations are by far my favorite.
As you have probably guessed, it is a selection of permanently reading lists (such as radio stations but without DJs or advertisements) organized by instrument, composer, period or gender, organized by the publishers of Apple Music Classical. I currently listen to an opera entitled, and Carmen de Bizet is all around me at Dolby Atmos.
Added to the launch of yesterday DJ in Apple Music to help jockeys in grass discs to build epic sets, as well as the inevitable fact that Apple Music Replay worked all over Spotify wrapped at the end of last year, you can say it for Apple Music and its classic Apple Music users: that’s good. It is one of the best music streaming services, then some.
