It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Oh well... Steinway has closed down its classical-only streaming service

Steinway has closed down its classical-only streaming service.

Which is a real shame, because it was the only service with an interface designed for deep-catalog classical music retrieval.

You could start on the home page, select Beethoven, get a Beethoven gateway page with a list of his most popular works in the left margin, each work with a recommended recording.

However, if you clicked on the name of the work rather than on the recommended recording, you got a list of all the recordings of that work in the system (admittedly, some were duplicates in that the same work might be both a single CD and part of a boxed set).

For Beethoven's violin concerto, there were more than 50 options, starting chronologically with Fritz Kreisler's acoustical 78 rpm recording.

A real shame.
