Updated 1 day ago

When you’re listening to classical music in Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, it’s as though you’re in the concert hall, standing side by side with the conductor, awash in the magnificent sound of a full orchestra. It’s a three-dimensional listening experience, one in which every detail and every instrument feels clear and close—from the swell of a string section to a virtuosic wind solo to the thunder of timpani and every vibration of the hammer. Handpicked by our editors, this playlist brings that listening experience to life with a selection of known pieces as well as those you’ve maybe yet to discover.
