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

Some might consider J.S. Bach to be "Baroque" not "Classical." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Sebastian_Bach
That link in the very first sentence links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_music which includes the Baroque era and explicitly mentions Bach: Important composers of this era include Johann Sebastian Bach...

The line gets blurred at some point of course, but that has always been the case (Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody is four parts rock and one part opera, and the Radetzky-Marsch has all the makings of a hit pop record…
Slightly less off-topic, I have been listening to lots of classical music over the years - in no small part because of a music teacher in secondary school who didn't just put on a record to let us know what, say, Beethoven, Händel or Shostakovich sounded like, but rather brimmed with (genuine) enthusiasm and a heartfelt joy of being able to share this great music with us.
The enthusiasm was contagious.

Hm, they should have made it without registration.
