Classical radio online for free

Listen to classical music for free: Test in the web player or with full quality in the apps.

Why 429 Hz?

The standard tuning pitch was not always 440 Hz. Verdi composed at 432 Hz. Baroque orchestras play at 415 Hz. Nikolaus Harnoncourt recorded Mozart in historical tunings – not out of nostalgia, but because the timbres change.

Mother Earth Klassik uses 429 Hz. A conscious decision between historical practice and modern tuning. Low enough for a relaxed, warm sound. High enough for presence and articulation.

What’s playing on Mother Earth Klassik?

Early music on original instruments. Bach recordings from unknown labels. Historical performance practice from ensembles that you don’t normally hear on the radio. Contemporary music – Arvo Pärt, Sofia Gubaidulina, composers who are writing today.

No Deutsche Grammophon blockbusters. Instead: BIS Records, Harmonia Mundi, Naxos. Labels that prioritize quality over sales figures. Recordings that are acoustically excellent and musically interesting.

Hi-Res FLAC – why it matters

Classical music has enormous dynamics. From the pianissimo of a flute to the fortissimo of an orchestra. 16-bit CD quality has 96 dB of dynamic range. 24-bit has 144 dB. You hear the difference in quiet passages – they remain detailed, do not disappear into the noise.

192 kHz sampling rate means: Transients are captured more precisely. The strike of a piano key. The attack of a violin. The articulation of a harpsichord.
