Milwaukee Symphony on iTunes
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra has become the first American symphony to offer performances at iTunes.
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra announced the launch today of MSO Classics, an e-label created specifically for digital distribution of its recordings at the iTunes Music Store and other digital music stores and services, including Yahoo! Music, Napster, RealNetworks Rhapsody, and MusicNet outlets including AOL, Virgin, and HMV, via a worldwide digital distribution deal with IODA, the Independent Online Distribution Alliance. The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra is the first American orchestra to distribute, through digital music stores, recordings previously unavailable for purchase. Performances on "MSO Classics," an e-label owned by the Symphony, will be available for 90 days, beginning today, exclusively on the iTunes Music Store – the world’s most popular digital music store.
Only the London Symphony Orchestra got there first. There's a small selection up there now but it will grow. However, one of the offerings is the world premiere of Roberto Sierra's Sinfonia No. 3, which was recorded last month. I attended the performance and can attest that it's a good piece, especially the last couple movements.
If iTunes isn't your thing, you still have the option to hear the MSO on the radio.
