The classical music albums would need much better labeling, please. As music lovers yourself, you certainly appreciate how finding the classical music is greatly improved with good labeling. In practice, they need a different data set than your run-of-the-mill popular music albums.
Take an example: album Mutterissimo (https://www.deezer.com/us/album/14780657), track 1. Which concerto are we listening to, please? I.e. a critical piece of information is missing, the composer.
Take another example: Alfred Bendel Plays Beethoven Volume 3 (https://www.deezer.com/us/album/6462183). This definitely ought to be listed under 'Beethoven, Ludwig van'. If, for some reason, you have to reference the soloist, wouldn't that also be more logical under 'Brendel' than 'Alfred'?
Who is the composer? >> Improved labelling of Music

Also annoying is the lack of info on multi-disc titles where you can't read from the track what the piece actually is.
I think Deezer is very poorly designed for classical music!!!!!!
I wish I could help with that...
Hopefully we can do something about this soon, vote above 😉
Also, giving advantages to the latest albums and (when it comes to classical music) to the latest performances and editions is not something that points to professionalism.
I can understand that's the reason for this is commercial, but there should be a certain level.
Classical compositions are regularly quoted without full names, and when it comes to editions with more than one composer, almost regularly the composers are not mentioned with the name of the compositions. That's the very low level.
Please fix this. It´s totally necessary.!
thanks
it should be added,
I would be opposed to the artist=composer idea. A composer is one thing, a performer something else. And although I _primarily_ want to know that this is Beethoven's 5th symphony (and not Mahler's, say), I also appreciate knowing whether it's being performed by the Berlin Philharmonic or the Southend Youth Orchestra. So what we need is an extra column of metadata so that we get both performer and composer on the tracklist. I see that this is an old thread, but nothing seems to have been done about it yet ...
Maybe some of you here have made similar experience and maybe Deezer has an idea how to overcome this problem. For listeners of a classical music piece, the name of its composer is essential.
The publisher has all the necessary data available so it's the Deezer system that fails us. Sorry to say but that's what seems to happen. Let me google that for you to confirm it: https://www.deutschegrammophon.com/en/cat/4836746. In this case, if you had just imported the data as provided, it'd be all good. It defies logic and smacks your customers in the face that you evidently strip crucial parts of the available data when you read it into your system.
The question is: what does it take from us to get Deezer to do this well, please? The best that can happen to you is a good competitor who has their act together in this. Either it shows you a model on how to do this (if you now are at loss) or you quickly get rid of many of us whingers from the sidelines and there's peace on earth on both sides.
I totally agree with the posts here, and it seems that nothing changed since then.
I was looking for the Goldberg Variations by J.S. Bach,
not exactly marginal music.
I could not find it!
I had to find the BWV number for the work and then it appeared that there are many good lbums of this music.
Deezer needs to add a tag : composer
and another tag work
The goldberg variations are one work of music that exists of 32 tracks. The belong together and we want to play them in the right order.
Whoever plays the piano is of less importance, although it would be nice to be able to quickly choose between interpretations.
Why has this not been fixed yet? There are now at least two streaming services to cater for classical music because other service still ignore this. However those services do not have any pop, rock or world music. Help!
I'm a fan of Classical myself so I understand your frustration.
But like any idea of improvement, we need users to vote so that it can be prioritised among all ideas, right? I've got my vote here and hopefully getting more, this idea gets off the ground.
Perhaps if we develop better tags in general, the experience will improve 😉
As today is the last day of my premium test account I don't think it will be solved in time.
I like Teezer better than Sp*ttify in many ways, but if I cannot even find the Goldberg Variations then I guess this is goodbye.
Would you like me to look into the "Goldberg Variations" specifically? I know there are a few shortcomings when it comes to Classical as we've established here but we need more users to vote for it so that it can be prioritised by the devs.
