Brilliant!

This is amazing value: 4 great recordings plus two types of score and a facsimile of the original score that was used for the World premiere of the piece.
I love the video recordings and found the essays really interesting too.
Could we have some more please: Stravinsky’s ‘Rite of Spring’ would be amazing if treated under this kind of microscope.
Messiaen’s ‘Quartet for the end if time’ or Bach’s ‘Brandenburg Concertos’ also come to mind. The interplay between the soloists and the concertante would really come out in an app like this.
Well done guys!

Possibly the best app on iPad I have ever used

This is the Mercedes Benz of iPad apps. A beautifully constructed app by Deutsche Grammophon that truly utilises the power of synchronisation and screen layout to augment and enhance one’s understanding of the music. Very well designed app that has intuitive controls and great content. I rarely buy apps, but this purchase was well worth it.

Blown away

Wow.

This is the most effective music teaching tool I have ever seen.

It combines and synchronises:

* 4 real performance recordings in parallel
* 3 views of real time score, including auto-condensing mode
* music theory descriptions that follow the music
* responsive colour coded navigation strip
* colour coded visual scheme of seating arrangement

making for a very detailed, real-time, visual representation of the work.

The “engine” behind this app opens up amazing possibilities for music analysis and general education.

I can’t imagine the amount of work that went into this app, yet there is also further untapped potential.

Applause.
