Between terrestrial radio and popular Web-based musical recommendation engines, classical music fans don't get a whole lot of love. Pandora, arguably still the best-known site in the latter category, is looking to turn that around. It announced today the addition of tens of thousand recordings by over 500 classical composers to the Musical Genome Project, which forms the basis of the site's recommendation engine.
"We think classical music enthusiasts will be delighted by the ability to explore any and all parts of the classical music universe in ways that have never before been possible", said the site's founder, Tim Westergren. "At the same time, we hope to make classical music more accessible and relevant to everyone."
The feature, which has been several years in the making, will span the genre's major periods, including Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern and Contemporary.
