Database of the Month: Classical Music Library

Classical Music Library is the world's largest multi-label database of Classical music recordings for listening and learning in libraries. The growing collection of 60,000-plus tracks includes recordings from the world's greatest labels including Hyperion, Bridge Records, Artemis-Vanguard, Hänssler Classic, Vox and many more. Coverage includes music written from the earliest times (e.g. Gregorian Chant) to the present, including many contemporary composers. Repertoire ranges from vocal and choral music, to chamber, orchestral, solo instrumental, and opera. They add repertoire according to the MLA publication ‘A Basic Music Library’ to ensure Classical Music Library will include at least one recording of each work listed. They also provide multiple recordings of most major works, to enable comparative listening. Classical Music Library also includes many works not in the MLA list, and is increasingly adding recordings by great performers and composers.

The newest release of Classical Music Library includes new features and updates from the previous interface. Most notably, they’ve added in an Album browse, which allows users to browse all classical works by album and find associated recordings of those works. They also have updated playlist functionality, which allows the user to annotate individual items in a playlist and link out to any item, whether it’s in the database or anywhere on the web. Users can also decide whether or not to share playlists with users at their institution or anyone who subscribes to Classical Music Library. They’ve also taken into consideration user feedback and users can now search for complete recordings of classical works through our Advanced Search. This way, users can limit their search results to only recordings where we have the complete work available instead of highlights/snippets.

Content will be added on a regular basis, and exciting new materials will be highlighted on the home page, so please check back regularly for updates.
