Description
The largest and best organized collection of classical music in the world! Play (stream) these marvelous works of classical music through our queuing player, whenever you want, where ever you are. Find the works you want to listen to with the help of our unique classification, developed by expert musicologists. We offer three modes:
1) The Library - where you can select from all the performances of a work in our enormous collection of recordings - organized by composer, category, and composition. We offer an immediate list of "The Greats" (composers) and their works, or you can search for any composer or performer by name (just enter the first few characters of the last name). Once you see a list of performances, long-tap on one of them to either add it to the player's queue, or add it to one of your playlists, or to view and play the entire album it came from. A short tap on a performance sends it immediately to the player - or its queue if something is already playing.
2) Must Know - where you will be guided to appreciate the most important composers and works of classical music through their latest released recordings. You can search by composers or by a combination of Period (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, etc.) and Genre (Orchestral, Chamber, Solo, Stage, etc.)
3) Playlists - where you can play some suggested playlists, or you can build and play your own! Subscribers have unlimited access and can play entire tracks or complete works or albums (even entire operas and multi-CD collections) with just one click. Non-subscribers will hear one minute clips of each track.
Recent changes: - Fixed some crashes - Work search results: display correct performers - Small tweaks in various places - Improved streaming buffering - Fixed a bug when playing and adding to playlist (via context menu) in work search results

Great app for classical music lovers Beautifully designed: simple and yet very comprehensive. The queuing player is a real plus!
★★★★★A Google User· Mar 16, 2013
At last! Fantastic!! This app allows to SELECT what work you want to listen to in this gigantic library! (So it's not a radio!) Two main modes: In The Library mode, you can select the performance (album) of the work you want to listen to. To do this in The Library, either select The Greats for quick access to the really greatest composers, or you can search by composer name. In the Must-Know mode, you are presented with the latest releases of the most important works. Again two methods: by the Must-Know composers, or you can search for these "must know" works by Period and/or Genre (like Late-/Post-Romantic + Stage/Opera). The app's Queuing Player is beautiful to look at and allows you to add many tracks, even complete works, to be played one after the other. The company is working on their next app release which will allow the creation and streaming of Playlists (which can also be created on their website.)

Disappointing I wanted to use this mainly for listening to music whilst driving. The first problem is that the streaming quality is poor. It might be ok for listening to samples but its no good for anything serious listening. Secondly the app itself isn't that good. For example searching for "Harry Christopher's" returns nothing but searching for "Christopher's" returns one result of "Harry Christopher's"! Once you select a search result you're just presented with a list of tracks with no way, that I could find, to play an album, sort by composer or anything else. Ie it's a lot less functional than the very good search on the website.

Two words to make this app better: Material design! Seriously, CA is the best resource I've ever seen for classical music streaming, but this app is a tragedy. Besides the terrible design, it lacks offline functionality, it's not intuitive and crashes all the time. It's sad to see such a great resource student because of a poorly made app.
