Excellent range of classical and jazz recordings, as well as sheet music. Quick delivery of orders. Very good availability of extracts from recordings, so you can hear before you buy, and the streaming app is also great.

They are by far and away the greatest classical music site for purchasing digital releases. From their front entrance portal, through searching and details about the release, the experience is fabulous. The always active sales are incredible. My goto web location for classical music.

I was looking for SACDs and was referred to Presto Music site. I noticed downloads are also available. So far the jazz catalogue has most of what I was looking for. The downloads are no fuss and straight forward. Will definitely pay more attention to this site.

The download sounds OK but it keeps breaking up towards the end of the recording. I cant tell the difference in sound from my Amazon music download. I expected more as I paid £20 odd pounds. I suppose it would be good if you could hear a sample before purchasing. Thanks

I’ve placed seven orders with Presto Music since January 2023 and each parcel has been very well packed, all items arrived safely and in excellent order. The website has so many great features - you can listen to your purchases online if you want to, it has great bargains and excellent journalists writing about the artists and much more. I can’t praise this company enough really and it is a great resource for all things musical.

Good quality recordings are available, I tend to download the FLAC ones, at least CD quality or better Opportunity to listen to 20-30 seconds on the website Once paid for they instantly available to download Much better than streaming

I’ve been purchasing classical music via Presto Classical for years now. I’m not a musician, nor in any way linked to the industry. I simply love music, not only classical, but when I want to find a classical piece, Presto Classical is my go to place. The last experience, hasn’t been any different than any other experience - I hear some piece that I like, or that intrigues me (I am by no means a conoceuer), and it is extremely easy to find it on the Presto Classical catalog. Multiple recordings, with detailed reviews. So, if there ever is any problem, it is the problem of selecting one out of many recordings. I cannot think of an easier, more informed way of purchasing classical music. In addition, once I make a purchase, and I only do downloads, besides listening to the downloaded files at my home, I can also listen to it in my office via the Presto Classical app.

I identified what I was looking for on 10 April without much difficulty and placed my order. As the cost was over £25, postage was free. The order has not yet arrived so I have not yet been able to play the four CDs at home.

HiRes music at it's best. Download was indeed a little slow and the file would not open. Second attempt was successful. I wished the PayPal billing option to show up from the start, would make it easier for customers outside the isle. The music made me forget the minimal hassle and I surely will return to prestomusic. Fast, great choice, worth the price! 👍🏻

Presto Music maintains an engaging, well-curated, informative website. I'd been wanting to find a second recording of Debussy's Trio for Flute, Harp and Viola after enjoying the Melos Ensemble's version for many years. Presto Music showed me all their available recordings of this work, with authoritative reviews of each and samples of each track. Given all these useful perspectives, it was easy to choose and download Hi-Res files of Harmonia Mundi's centenary, revelatory recording of Debussy's late works. It didn't hurt that this disk was on a super sale!

I have bought several albums from Presto and have found their service to be excellent. They offer downloaded music in several formats and and quick and secure to deal with. I have been able to purchase recordings which are difficult to normally find too. I highly recommend this vendor for music

Well, today we went into the Leamington branch wanting to look at Yamaha CLP 735 and 725 pianos with the view of purchasing one or the other. The good news was that we could go in and our son was able to see how each compared without a problem. However, we were a little suprised that no-one even aproached us from the shop. So we just left, went home and ordered the 735R from a shop in Northampton (St Giles Music) that we had been to earlier in the week who were ever so friendly. If there was just the slightest engagment, we would probably purchased the piano from Presto. But I think their disappearing act in plane sight (pun on the name) may have done the trick for us just disappearing without even a Hey Presto. Advice... you may want to engage just a tiny little bit when people enter the shop. You may have sold something if you had.

This company offers a wide range of recordings. One can often compare many different performances. I would prefer to have the opportunity to listen to slightly longer excerpts, but a minute is useful. The checkout experience is simple.
