It has been 19 months since Apple purchased Primephonic and promised a dedicated classical music app in 2022, but better late than never (see “ Apple Buys Classical Music Service Primephonic,” 31 August 2021). Like Primephonic, it will offer thorough and accurate metadata - a challenge for services that cram all music genres into one destination - and you’ll be able to search “by composer, work, conductor, or even catalog number, and find specific recordings instantly.” In addition, the app will only support iOS devices running iOS 15.4 or newer at launch.Īpple Music Classical will stream at up to 192 kHz/24-bit hi-res lossless, and Apple says it will include “thousands” of spatial audio recordings. The release date will be later this month, on March 28.

However, while the app is being announced today, it’s only available for pre-order on the App Store for now. Based on its 2021 acquisition of Amsterdam-based streamer Primephonic, the new Apple Music Classical app will offer Apple Music subscribers access to over 5 million classical music tracks, including new releases in high-quality audio, as well as hundreds of curated playlists, thousands of exclusive albums, and other features like composer bios and deep dives on key works, Apple says.
