Classical Music & Jazz WRTI

At first I noticed that WRTI was a classical station in HD. I’ve been in love with ever since. With good earphones or excellent speakers, the quality of sound is immediate and obvious. The nuances of expression between soloists and even the variations between different instruments, e.g., violin to violin sonorities, are accessible. That said, I’m also enjoying the diversity of classical music presented and the wide range of orchestras and instrumentalists who say things with individuality. My only wish is that more antique recordings might be added to regular programming, such as Rachmaninov playing his piano concerto, or anything performed by Reiner conducting the CSO which was composed of soloists who played their hearts out in Scheherazade. In conclusion, WRTI is my favorite for listening to classical music, and the sound is exemplary. I highly recommend it to one and All!

I moved to Philly just 5 weeks ago and was introduced to WRTI by a Lyft driver. What a blessing to have found this station. If you're in the area, you can listen on the FM dial but if not, then this app is truly terrific and definitely helps me get my jazz fix. The app streams either classical or jazz 24/7 and the sound quality is really quite good. A little hit or miss on the syncing of the Playlist not always matching the track you're actually listening to but for me that's a minor nuisance. Overall, this is a stellar app.

This may be one of the most frustrating apps that I’ve used. Particularly the playlists which do not correspond to what is being played. I wanted to find out what Had just been played as it was a wonderful guitar suit and I couldn’t find it and then I begin to look at the rest of them and only one or two of them correspond to see what was being played. I spent the better part of an hour trying to get it to work right but it never did. It’s a shame because when I hear a piece on the radio and I want to find out what it was it is practically impossible to do it. I’ve tried this several times and I’ve rarely been successful. Too bad, because I do love the programming for the most part both a classical and that you have but it is the most frustrating to try and use the app and get this aggravating result.
