Classical music often faces an uphill battle in the streaming economy. It’s hard for the likes of even familiar names such as Joshua Bell or Itzhak Perlman to compete with pop stars on mainstream platforms. Metadata challenges can also make it difficult for listeners to find the specific recordings or performers they want. Several platforms have emerged attempting to provide classical and opera fans a niche service, but success will require that they spread the word widely enough to build a critical mass of followers and subscribers.
