There are many different musical genres in the world, from rap to rock. Everyone has their favorite genre. Classical music may not be as popular, but, as numerous surveys show, this genre is coming back into fashion. In any case, many people enjoy the works of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi and other great composers.
If you are a fan of classical music, I have good news for you. I have compiled a list of apps created specifically for lovers of this genre. All the apps described below can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. Several are available online.
Classical Music Radio
Classical Music Radio has 40 channels. They are divided into styles: by periods, composers, instruments (piano, brass, flute, cello, trumpet, etc.), orchestras, etc. But they are all united by one theme - classical music. You can choose from Mozart's masterpieces to works of the 20th century.
Unlike most other Internet radios, the app has curators — real people who understand music. They select the best compositions for each channel. But if you don’t like one, you can “dislike” it and you won’t hear it again. You can add what you like to your favorites. If you go to the composer’s profile, you can see a list of channels that play similar music.
The free version plays music in 64k (AAC-HE) quality, paid users have access to the version with 128k (AAC) and 320k (MP3) quality. In the settings, you can enable equalizer support from other applications. A paid subscription will increase the number of radio stations and will not show ads.
The application is available for Android And iPhone.
Classical Music Radio by Maxim Kabluka
This is a great choice for those who want to get everything without paying anything. Everything you need is already in the free version. There are 50 channels available (Beethoven, Mozart, Bach and others), so there is always something to choose from. All listened to compositions are saved in the application history, which allows you to quickly return to the desired track.
There is a built-in 10-band equalizer for fine-tuning the sound and control of the balance between the left and right channels. And impressive sound quality - 32 bits. By the way, the application is convenient to use in the car. The inscriptions in full-screen mode will be clearly visible during the trip. For greater ease of use in the car, in the settings you can enable automatic playback when starting the application and activate the function of stopping music when disconnecting the headset.
The application is available for Android.

KDFC is a non-commercial radio station in San Francisco, California that broadcasts classical music 24 hours a day. Although it was founded in 1948, its views are quite progressive.
In addition to FM streaming and SHOUTcast MP3, KDFC was the first radio station in the U.S. to broadcast HD digital radio. Now, in the 21st century, a mobile app has been developed for the convenience of listeners.
On the Now Playing tab, the app shows the title of the current work and composer, as well as the program schedule. If previously only Californians could listen to it, now thanks to high technology, one of the oldest radio stations is available anywhere in the world.
