The Classical Archives App

Last week we focused on Music Theory Apps. This week we will focus on Classical Music Apps. The first one I will introduce is the Classical Archives App:

Classical Archives (http://www.classicalarchives.com) Large collection of classical music; play/stream works of classical music through queuing player; unique classification system developed by expert musicologists; three modes include: 1) “The Library” where user can select from all the performances of a work in a large collection of recordings organized by composer, category, and composition; includes an immediate list of “The Greats” (composers) and their works, or search for any composer or performer by name; long-tap on one of them to either add it to the player’s queue, add it to a playlist, or 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 the user will be guided to appreciate the most important composers and works of classical music through their latest released recordings; search by composers or by a combination of Period including Baroque, Classical, Romantic, etc. and Genre including Orchestral, Chamber, Solo, Stage, etc.; 3) “Playlists” where user can play suggested playlists or build and play their own; subscribers have unlimited access to play entire tracks, complete works, or albums including operas and multi-CD collections; non-subscribers hear one-minute clips of each track; (iOS 6.0 or later; Android 2.3.3 and up).
