Apple has announced that Apple Music Classical, a standalone app that specializes in the genre, will be released on March 28th. After acquiring music service Primephonic in 2021, the company had originally aimed to release a classical-focused app by the end of last year. It missed that target, but now the service is nearly here. Rather than natively being bundled into iOS, it will come in the form of a standalone release in the App Store. Access to the app comes included with a standard Apple Music subscription.

“Apple Music Classical makes it quick and easy to find any recording in the world’s largest classical music catalog with fully optimized search, and listeners can enjoy the highest audio quality available, and experience many classical favorites in a whole new way with immersive spatial audio,” Apple wrote in a press release.

Classical has often been cited as one of the best use cases for spatial audio, giving recordings a greater sense of presence. The app will also offer “hundreds of curated playlists, thousands of exclusive albums, insightful composer biographies, deep-dive guides for many key works, intuitive browsing features, and much more.”

Apple Music Classical will stream at up to 192 kHz/24 bit hi-res lossless, and Apple says it will include “thousands” of spatial audio recordings. Like Primephonic, it will offer accurate metadata — a challenge for services that offer all genres — and you’ll be able to search “by composer, work, conductor, or even catalog number, and find specific recordings instantly.”

At the outset, Apple Music Classical will be exclusive to iOS, but an Android version is in the works, according to TechCrunch.
