Wow, this doesn't "just work" for me. I don't have an Apple Music subscription, but I've "purchased" plenty of classical music using iTunes, going back, what, 15+ years? The app doesn't appear to be designed for this use case. Why not? Isn't it just an elaborate skin on the basic Music app?
The app knows about my classical purchases, in that they are accessible from certain built-in playlists. For example, the piano pieces I own show up in Instrument Playlists/Piano. When I do a search, my music shows up among the search results, but lots of other results I don't own are also shown, so searching isn't a practical way to access my library.
None of my stuff shows up in Browse or Library. I have to "Add Albums" to my library? Just what I want, a learning curve, and extra effort, to play music I already own.
It appears Apple's main intention is to lock-in classical fans into a monthly subscription. Fine, but then just say, "This app requires a subscription to Apple Music."
