I was skeptical of the idea when it was announced a few weeks ago but I like what I see. Music discovery on the classical side is different from popular genres.

I was skeptical of the idea when it was announced a few weeks ago but I like what I see. Music discovery on the classical side is different from popular genres. Often I’m trying to discover new/different recordings of works I’m already familiar with. Different players, conductors, etc. Here, it’s a success. For example I’m playing the Beethoven Op. 97 at a festival this summer. I have my go-to recordings but I’m curious what’s out there. The search here yields complete works; rather than a movement here and a movement there, album here and and album there. This is priceless compared to the classically-oriented search elsewhere.
