Listening online

By Zoë Lang

This post addresses a topic that I've hoped to write about for a while: resources for listening to classical music online. I'm planning to stick to resources that are free (no iTunes) and accessible to anyone (no Naxos/Classical Music Library) as well as not potentially infringing on copyright (YouTube). For this post, I will discuss three of my favorites and welcome you to submit others. I'd like to investigate other possibilities for listening online, so please feel free to comment and leave more suggestions.
