Finally, classical music and Apple Music working together! Transform Apple Music into a magical classical music jukebox - browse composers, genres and periods, search for recordings, create playlists of multi-movement works, start no-nonsense radio stations and much, much more, for free! - DESIGNED FOR CLASSICAL MUSIC Say goodbye to tracks and welcome multi-movement works! . SEARCH, FINALLY WORKING FOR CLASSICAL! Search for recordings, not for albums or tracks: look for composers, works, performers or any combination of those. . COMPOSERS, WORKS AND MUCH MORE Browse 200+ composers and tens of thousands of works, conveniently organized: A to Z, popular, essential, by genre, by period. Set favorite composers and works and browse directly to them. . CREDITS GO ALL TO THE ARTISTS No more guessing games: each recording presents full credits of its performers: orchestras, conductors, soloists, singers, chamber groups... . NO-NONSENSE RADIO STATIONS The typical classical music online radio is pure chaos: the "sacrificial dance" from "The Rite of Spring", one prelude from "The Well-Tempered Clavier", then a slow movement from some Mozart piano concerto... stop this erratic movement swapping and embrace a classical radio that makes sense. . 1, 2, 3, EASY AS A-B-C Albums and tracks are convenient for popular music but not suitable at all for classical music and its large, fragmented works. Say hi to a classical music player designed for multi-movement sets, that presents both a detailed view of each movement and a global progress bar of the work as a whole. . PLAYLISTS GALORE! Organize recordings by setting them favorites or by creating playlists, which can be played randomically as a radio station. * An active Apple Music subscription is needed for full music playback.
What’s New
- Bug fixes and performance enhancements, as always! - New "Recent releases" list on the Favorite tabs: keep up to date to the latest album releases! - New "Delete account" option: completely wipe out your Concertino data, including listening history and favorites! (Only if you will!) (Lots of exclamation marks! Wow!)

    Doesn’t fit the screen
    Just downloaded after reading about the app on 9to5. But the app doesn’t fit the screen. The left and right sides are ‘cut off’. Not sure what’s up.

    It’s An Upgrade
    I think the app is mostly pretty good and an upgrade over Music. The interface is quite nice. I do have a few complaints. Advancing a piece: Why must I lock the screen or pull the screen down to access Apple’s song advance slider to go forward or back in a piece? I don’t like leaving the app just to slide back to a part I really enjoyed. Inconsistent representation of composers: I search Paganini and I get an option that shows the composer Niccolo Paganini, then his works are broken down by essential, chamber and so on. I search Henri Vieuxtemps, and various pieces come up with his name in bold but he doesn’t have his own profile with his works broken down so I can easily browse his works. I find numerous composers have profiles with their works and others have their works available but not organized and scatter shot in a list. Favorites scattered: Why are my favorites scattered in a list? One of the things I was most hoping for where Apple Music fails, is organizing my music by composer. When I favorite something, why do I not instead see a list of composers I have with at least one piece saved? Where’s that Dvorak piece I favorited? In some odd spot in a list mixed with a bunch of other composers. I want to go to my Dvorak favorites and see all my Dvorak there and so on. Number of composers: I know, yours limited by OpenOpus, and eventually the list will grow and a community will be able to help it grow. When will the Open in OpenOpus open? Show more

    Great way to discover classical music
    The app has some quirks but is greatoverall.

    Great concept, suggestions
    This is a WONDERFUL app. I think it has a very recognizable feel to classical musicians, similar to browsing the IMSLP catalog, except with a link to a recording at the end (though occasionally it won’t find recordings that I know are on Apple Music, particularly with older music, pre-Bach). It’s a great resource if you’re wanting to explore a composer’s oeuvre and immediately listen. While it achieves everything it aims to re: being a classical music library, there’s something to be desired on the streaming end. While it is a great thing to group movements together as a single work (though still listing them as individual movements is a good thing), you’re unable to scroll to specific time-stamps within a movement; you have to listen all the way through. It’s just standard-fare for a streaming service, and should be added in the next update. Additionally, consider researching and adding famous composers of color to the catalogues: Boulogne, Price, Still, Eastman, and others. There are several lesser known composers in the groups by time period, some lesser known than these. It seems prudent to include these and more now rather than later. Great job on creating a wonderful and very useful app. Show more

    Finally!
    I’ve wanted something like this to exist for so long! I’d have been thrilled just to find a classical music app that integrates with Apple Music, but the fact that this app looks so nice and works so well is just the icing on the cake. And it looks like the developers are just getting started, so I can’t wait to see where it goes from here! Show more

    Honest alternative to Primephonic or Idagio
    Superior not just to most classical radio stations with questionable curating at best but also to such scams as Primephonic or Idagio that presume to charge subscriptions for similarly clumsy selection of good music. Show more

    Brilliant
    Fantastic app, well laid out. Love the different categories for each composer. One of my most used apps!

    Not an iPad app
    Looks very good except on iPad.

    One of the best idea as long as I'm concerned
    Since I discovered Concertino as a Web app, I've been loving the idea and it's been my go-to app for classical music. And it's now a native iOS app and it can play recordings in app itself. And the developer is very motivated and communicative. I have high respect on them. I could give it five stars. But I know there is always margin of improvements. Hence, four for now. I'm pretty sure I will give it five after several more releases. Show more
