Did you read the announcement:
> Why a separate classical app?
> Classical music often involves multiple musicians recording works that have been recorded many times before and are referred to by different names. For example, from the formal Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 14 to the popular byname of Moonlight Sonata, or in multiple languages, such as Mondschein Sonata in German. Such complexities mean that classical music fans have been ill-served by streaming platforms. Until now. A distinct app, included with an Apple Music subscription, gives these classical music lovers the editorial and catalog content they’ve been missing.
> Only a brand-new app — with specialized features and a beautiful interface designed for the genre — could remove the complexity and make classical music easily searchable, browsable, and accessible for beginners and experts alike.

Err... why?

Classical music isn't the only category that is not well served by a library of audio files though. Many types of folkloric music and rap has similar problems. Actually, pushing many audio files to clients with just album context only serves the pop music well, perhaps.
On the other hand, limiting it to classical music hits that "do one thing well" spot, and would be hopefully a good testing ground for more such individualized apps.

Probably licensing, if I have to make a guess.

#7Wow. I will try this product today as I am exactly in the target group. I often listen to different recordings of the same music to find the best one, I want to dive into certain artists or genres and indeed - with Apple Music and Spotify, this is not easy.
Re: Apple Music Classical
#8Brilliant. I kept my classical music in a separate playlist because it's so unwieldy. This is the perfect solution for me.
By the way, I love the serifed font - hope those make a comeback.
Re: Apple Music Classical
#9Actually, I think it's a good thing they've built a separate app for that. We used to think that one app that rules all of them is a good idea. Not always.
Classical music has a lot of nuances (some of which are listed on the announcement page) and from UI/UX perspective it would be quite difficult to mixed all these details in the standard Apple Music app.
I'm now wondering what Spotify thinks about this matter. Do they plan to highlight classical music like Apple did. I don't know.
Re: Apple Music Classical
#10Maybe we'll finally get a music app where classical music isn't categorized by Album/Artist :)
Classical doesn't really fit that well into a schema, since you have composers, performers, and then under performers there's soloist, or multiple soloists, which orchestra, which conductor, and so on.
And it would also be nice to have things like "show most popular recordings of Beethoven's 5th".
