Classical music is often considered to be the music of the ages. Western classical music remains one of the widely appreciated genres of music on our planet today. Hundreds of millions of recordings have been sold, but demand never seems to ebb. The Internet, however, offers multiple ways you can find and record quality recordings of your favorite pieces and your favorite artists for free.

Of course, you can download classical music from iTunes. You can purchase classical tracks from many other sources. But because there is no copyright on classical compositions, many musicians provide their renditions of the classics for free.

To begin your search for free classical music downloads, start by looking for resources where modern musicians record their performances for free distribution online. All online radio sites list classical music stations. A great example is BBC Radio, which presents a listing of the exact tracks you are allowed to play. Many of these music libraries will allow you browse their entire collection.

Wikis and information sites also offer free classical music downloads. You might start with a Beethoven wiki or a Hayden wiki, providing information about the composer and downloads of highly regarded performances of their works. Even the classics, however, change. Every year one or more previously unperformed works enter the modern repertoire. Promotions for these pieces are often a treasure trove of downloads for admirers of the composers who wrote them.

The most difficult part of finding free classical music downloads is ensuring quality. MP3′s that are compressed small for easy download sometimes sacrifice sound quality. Try to find streaming tracks that allow you to listen before you download. This ensures that you don’t download hours of performance by your local, talented junior high school orchestra when you were looking for the London Philharmonic.

Whether you are seeking a single movement or an entire symphony, you can find quality downloads of almost any classical composition somewhere on the net. Just listen before your download, but rest assured, the classics are to be found nearly anywhere you look.
