Can we stop advertising time-limited singup-requiring trials as "opened for free" ? Because for that matter - so did pornhub.

Because I saw them advertising that, on their site, which I browsed to, for the purpose of viewing pornography.

‘All of Bach’ is the Netherlands Bach Society project to record the entire catalogue of Bach works. Check them out if you’re in the mood for classical music.

Some might consider J.S. Bach to be "Baroque" not "Classical."

Even that link draws a distinction between the 'classical period' (what you linked to) and 'classical music' (a much broader range and the terminology parent commenter used)

In popular usage, the term classical refers to all european music written before about 1900 or so, and music written since that fits an older style

Listen, if you want to call all Western Art music "classical" go right ahead. In fact, pop stuff like "Andrea Bocelli" and "The Piano Guys" gets lumped into "classical" too.

I only see the ‘Buy’ option. How do you get the free access?

You have to click on 'free', go to https://www.culturall.com/ticket/ists/login.mc , register an account (email/password), and then it plays in-browser. https://www.culturall.com/ticket/ists/performance_schedule.m... lists at least 11 things to stream with '0,00 €', which I assume is how they're doing 'free'.
