Just Announced: iTunes Pass Complete Release Schedule
What Pass subscribers are saying:
"There is a lively and joyous feeling to these recordings. The sound is wonderful and this is a pure treat."
"As a big fan of the NY Philharmonic, I LOVE the opportunity to ‘buy the season’ in a smart, packaged format."
In celebration of Alan Gilbert's first season as Music Director, the New York Philharmonic has created the world's first subscription series of live orchestral recordings for download, available exclusively from iTunes.
A season's worth of music
With your iTunes Pass you'll own 30 concerts - or more than 80 works - performed and recorded live by the New York Philharmonic for only $150. You save 50% off of regular iTunes prices. Artists include Thomas Hampson, Yefim Bronfman, Gil Shaham, and more! Bonus content includes Alan Gilbert's onstage commentaries, encores, and liner notes (see a sample).
New downloads released every few weeks
iTunes Pass subscribers receive a collection of classical favorites and new works (including New York Philharmonic commissions), all performed by the world's leading conductors and soloists, only weeks after the concerts. You receive an email when new content is available, and new items are delivered automatically when you open iTunes. Downloads are released through August 2010.
High quality recordings
It's simple to download, manage, and listen to the series on your computer or any iPod/iPhone, as well as most other media devices. Your iTunes Pass downloads are DRM-free, high-quality 256k AAC files, which means that the recordings sound great and are yours to keep forever.
