Web sites for listening to classical music, for free?

Question

I listen to https://secure.classicalarchives.com/login.html sometimes, but the only free music are computerized recordings or low quality recordings. Doesn't sound good.

Answer 1

sky.fm - they send classical music around the clock. they also have other music channels (for every genre a separate channel)
http://www.sky.fm/classical/

Answer 2

I recommend you download a peer-to-peer file sharing program such as LimeWire, which is what I use. It's free, and connects you to a huge database of users who are very likely to have what you are after. Performances of most classical pieces are also available on youtube.

Also, I have a huge collection of classical music on my computer, and I would be more than happy to send you some of my mp3s through email.

1. Piano music (donloadable) over here (good quality stuff (some not)):

2. This requires subscription, which is FREE, and then allows you to download 5 pieces in 24 hours. Such conditions. But I don't use that site very much.

3. My favourite classical music online radio is that of UK:
