Are you familiar with Idagio (https://app.idagio.com/)? Superior to Spotify across every dimension for classical music.


Idagio looks pretty awesome. Do you know who's behind it?

My only complaint so far is that they claim that one of the reasons for creating Idagio is that the main streaming services are track/album-oriented, implying that Idagio does this better. But if I go to an Idagio album (here [1] is a random example), there are just tracks. If I view the same album at Apple Music, the album is nicely divided into works [2], and also annotates each track with the composer.

I do love the ability to browse by work and find matching recordings, though.

I guess they have the metadata - if you click on the work [1], you get only the tracks that are part of it [2]. Idagio seems to be a company located in Berlin! [3]

Indeed. It's the in-album grouping that I was desiring, though. (By the way, I pasted the wrong link: This is the Schumann/Brahms album: https://app.idagio.com/albums/schumann-and-brahms-lieder.)



Awesome. If you'd received money for leads you'd earned your provision now ;)


Any idea how it compares to https://www.primephonic.com/ ?


It even has the recording comparison feature you are dreaming of!


That is very cool. Now I'm missing the feature to compare recordings at a given bar! And to see the score from imslp :D

edit: Just applied there for a job. I'm curious what they will say.
