ClassicalPodcasts.com is for people who love to listen to classical music and want to explore music they may not have heard before or discover the best performance of music they have already heard and enjoy.

This website was created to help music lovers achieve both goals. We are uniquely able to fulfill this mission because we bring together two exceptional resources:

1) a classical music collection that includes over 100,000 recordings of more than 50,000 different pieces of music from every corner of the globe, representing every historical period from biblical times to the present – one of the largest collections of classical music in the world; and

2) the expertise of some of the best professional music commentators, musicians, and composers involved in the classical music world.
