Or a student looking for an immersion course in Baroque can start with a swipe. Or a kid suddenly obsessed with harpsichords can assemble her own Jean Rondeau marathon in an instant.Users can search by title, opus number, composer, conductor, orchestra, ensemble, instrument, period and soloist, among other parameters.
Spotify, for instance, is a vast and vexing roulette for classical fans.
