Free Classical Music Downloads

ClassicMad

Chandos Records have got 7 free classical music downloads available. All you have to do is sign up for their monthly newsletter. It seems that they get changed periodically and once you're signed up you can download them too! Their website is https://www.chandos.net, and the free mp3 button can be found on the left side under "special offers". The ones I've tried so far have been really good quality, and they've got over 9200 (payable) downloads available.

Hi,

I rushed to sign up, but then found that the free downloads are very short (two to seven minutes) and rather a esoteric selection. Not such a great deal then.

Rgds.

2 to 7 minutes? Esoteric selection? Not such a great deal?

But they are FREE & of pretty good quality, not to mention probably offering something that you (or I) would not normally listen to.

I am certainly grateful for the info & all I can say is... Thank you for the music.

Strange.
Did you select all tracks and then enter code CHINH127.

I definitely got it all for free. According to Webuser Magazine the Holst CD is available until the 16th January.

NickiM

Yes, did the code, and went to the checkout and it wanted £1. Maybe I was doing it wrong...

It is a bit of a faff to do, but I've just done it & have managed to download all of the Gustav Holst (the current offer) completely free of charge.

Right, I'll try once more!
