Especially considering people are already not so keen on classical music

As a big fan of Medieval and Renaissance music, it's always disappointing to me that almost all music sources don't split my sub-sub genre out from Classical. It's not all the same.

True music fans (I'm not a dj or musician) have this subgenre issue. I'm an avid electronic music fan from the early days of space music to current drum funk, drum and bass. Watching the genres evolve over time and discussing the divergence a favorite pass time of mine. Have you checked out Musicbrainz? The catalog that community is building is, from what I've seen so far, the most robust publicly available database. The 3 largest known databases are still privately owned and not available publicly

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'.

Hm, they should have made it without registration.

I nominate you to /r/ChoosingBeggars

I see no "free" on that page. The only thing, which is free, is the first month. Then it costs EUR 16.90/month.

You just have to create an account. They still push you to the subscription page but the content doesn’t require it.

doesn't work for me. It says pay 16€ or 5€ :-(

I basically spend my entire programming life on Israeli Kan classical radio station 24/7 of very versatile classical music: https://www.kan.org.il/radio/player.aspx?stationId=7

they used to run a lot of modern music, I'd wish they didn't do that.

The Berlin Philharmonic is doing the same: https://www.digitalconcerthall.com/en/home

I found about this yesterday. It is truly amazing. You get a Gutschein(groupon code?) for a month. If you like Beethoven, you should check this out : https://www.digitalconcerthall.com/de/concert/52428 Truly amazing especially the 2nd part(Molto vivace).

Thanks for the link. If I hear Beethoven or Schubert I know that I am not alone with those deep feelings in this tragic times. Music is a miracle.
