Are you a lover of Beethoven or Mozart and does the offer of Apple Music and Spotify not sound like music to your ears? Then try Idagio. This streaming service focuses solely on classical music.
Idagio: Spotify for classical music
Spotify is enough for most people, but for classical music lovers, the offer is a bit sparse. The streaming service Idagio is responding to this. The Spotify competitor focuses on an exclusive range of classical music.
The app works much the same as Apple Music, but there are differences. First, music is not sorted in the classical format of song, artist or album, but by composer, ensemble, soloist or composer.
So if you search for a particular work, you get different performances back to compare with each other, just like you can listen to both the studio version and the live recording in Spotify (for some songs). You can of course add all these works to your own playlists.
Playlists by the experts
Also, Idagio’s design is very different from Apple Music or Spotify. The interface is calm and minimalistic. In addition, the playlists are compiled by experts and Idagio has exclusive pieces in the collection that cannot be heard anywhere else. This audio is played in CD quality.
To save data, it is possible to download top works by Mozart and Beethoven, among others, so that you can listen to them offline. A nice addition is that there are multiple playlists for different moods such as ‘Powerful’, ‘Relaxed’ or ‘Happy’.
Finally, it is possible to stream via Idagio via AirPlay to all speakers in your house. Sonos also supports the classical music streaming service. Idagio costs 9.99 euros per month, but you can try the app for 14 days for free. You can cancel the subscription at any time.
