Classical streaming is getting crowded

First there was Idagio with an all-you-can-eat offer of classics around the clock.

Then there was Primpehonic, which got bought by Apple and is about to relaunch as premium classics on line.

Qobuz, Medici and Symphony are all vying for your custom.

Now along comes DG with Stage+ which offers a range of live music videos from branded artists for around $150 a year. (See a list of upcoming livestreams below.)
