Deutsche Grammophon launches DG Discovery – the world’s first classical label streaming App

Curated iPad and iPhone app offers subscribers instant and unlimited access to peerless performances and a rich supply of background information

Following a stunning sell-out performance at his Salzburg Festival “Mozart Matinee” on Saturday, the label’s star tenor Rolando Villazón officially unveiled the new App on his own iPad. “DG Discovery is a fantastic new way for classical music lovers to enjoy this art form using all the advantages of modern technology,” he notes. “It’s also a space for the curious to encounter the great masters and current performers. It allows you to listen to incredible performances whenever and wherever you wish, which is a terrific advantage for today’s music lovers. I’m sure that DG Discovery will become one of the main ways that we listen to treasures from the great Deutsche Grammophon catalogue.”
