Excellent to now have this as a new streaming option. It looks very promising. I’m intrigued to find out how broad the catalogue is, and how easy it is to search…
That’s a really helpful review, thanks Hugh!
I’m enjoying exploring Presto Streaming: I’ve found a few (very interesting classical) albums that don’t seem to be on Idagio; it’s great to have all the jazz catalogue too; I really like the page layout; but, agreed, am also finding that search is returning many unexpected results. And there are other aspects of navigation that seem awkward - perhaps they will be refined in time?
My jury’s still out…
Just to add that I’m much liking the ‘Reviews’ (where reviews are available) and ‘Explore’ features.
I mentioned Presto’s Album of the Week on another thread - Isabelle Faust and Les Siècles’ stunning performances of Stravinsky - but there is a repeatable glitch at 2.27 in the capriccio of the Violin Concerto where the sound disappears for the rest of the movement. The same recording on Idagio is fine.
So I’ve contacted Presto to ask about this. I’ve heard their customer service is excellent… it will be interesting to hear their response.
Any response yet from Presto? I hope they prove that they can respond to and correct this kind of problem quickly. (No glitch on Apple.)
I’m pleased to say that the glitch was corrected yesterday (but no email as yet to let me know).
