What site has the most complete classical music library?
on: September 08, 2012, 05:36:23 AM
I would like to listen to music by different composers performed by different pianists. Youtube is not very complete... And spotify is not available in my country (philippines).  :(  Where do you guys get your music? Can I get an app for this on ipad? I like a very complete library, not just a collection of famous pieces you hear everywhere like the moonlight sonata, Liebestraum, clair de lune, chopin's nocturne 9/2, beethoven's symphony 5 etc etc....

Anything I can't find on Youtube, I go to iTunes for. Actually I end up going to iTunes most of the time anyway. As for sites that have music besides youtube... Can't help you there.
Currently learning -

- Bach: P&F in F Minor (WTC 2)
- Chopin: Etude, Op. 25, No. 5
- Beethoven: Sonata, Op. 31, No. 3
- Scriabin: Two Poems, Op. 32
- Debussy: Prelude Bk II No. 3

Have you tried university libraries in your city?  I've done a lot of listening at university libraries, and have discovered many unknown gems that way. 

Check out the Naxos Music Library.

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Subscribe to Rhapsody (www.rhapsody.com); they have a fantastic library, and for a small fee, you can listen to as much as you want.

I want to say Naxos. But I only had access to Naxos because my school subscribed to them....so I don't know if it is free or not

Imslp.org is heaven for sheets, it also has a number of recordings too.
