When it comes to Apple’s spatial audio, the classical genre is said to be the best way to experience the heightened audio experience. In the new app users will be able to try thousands of exclusive albums, curated playlists, biographies insightful, access notable works, etc.

“Apple Music Classical also makes it easy for beginners to get acquainted with the genre thanks to hundreds of Essentials playlists, insightful composer biographies, deep-dive guides for many key works, and intuitive browsing features,” reads the description for the app on App Store.

The application will stream music at up to 192 kHz/24-bit hi-res lossless along with thousands of spatial audio recordings. Apple claims that the app will also offer accurate classical metadata, something that has been a challenge for many music streaming platforms.

Apple acquired Primephonic in August 2021. The Primephonic application was a classical music streaming service that offered an outstanding audio experience with a plethora of artists and tracks.
