If you have been wondering what’s the best way to get classical downloads, then there are a few methods you’ve probably considered. Classical music is a special genre. It’s important to get good quality sound files because you’ll want to hear each piece as if you were live at the performance. It’s also important that you get accurate recordings, as many times the songs and orchestras can get mislabeled and you won’t have an intrinsic file. Here is a quick rundown on the different ways of obt

Free Downloads - Many people are under the wrong assumption that because a composer’s works are in the public domain, all of their music can be legally downloaded for free. It’s true that the works of many classical composers fall into the public domain because they are so old.
What this means is that you can download copies of their written works for free. However, the performance that you are listening to is most likely not in the public domain, because it was recorded recently by an orchestra. Unless that orchestra has expressly stated that the recording of their performance is in the public domain, then it’s not. Be leery of free classical downloads as they’re most likely unlicensed.

Torrents - There are many torrents out there with titles and descriptions claiming that they contain the entire works of Mozart or Beethoven. They most likely also contain a virus. Torrents are never a good idea when it comes to getting your classical downloads. You should only get them from a trusted source so you can be sure there aren’t files on it that will harm your computer. It’s better to pay a little and know what you’re getting, than go the free route and roll the dice.
