Isn’t fundamentally the issue that for any symphony by Beethoven or whoever that there are thousands of recordings of performances? So if I decide I want to listen to a certain one then I also need to pick a particular performance that a particular orchestra did a certain time?
Apple Music has a totally separate app for classical music. It was specifically designed to address exactly this.
For each composer, it shows all their well known works, and then you can tap on each to see all the recordings of that particular piece.
Smart move on Apple’s part, if you ask me.
As mentioned above, they bought Primephonic, which already had all those features. For myself, I used Primephonic until Apple bought it, then switched to Idagio, in order to minimize my connection with the Apple machine.

I love that app. They have Dolby atmos mixes which seem like overkill but I was completely floored putting on a double bass work and being completely immersed in the center of the sound. Obviously great for large ensembles but surprisingly awesome at solo works
And the play history integrates with the main Music app
I always wondered why there were separate apps, and this makes total sense.
