The Orchestra for Positive User Reviews

ExcellentWonderful app. my six years old daughter loves it too!.Version: 1.0.1

Very enjoyableVery enjoyable I nearly fell asleep 😴👍😄.Version: 1.4.6

The OrchestraAstonishingly good. Highly informative, easy to explore. Worth every penny..Version: 1.0.1

FantasticQuite possibly one of the best apps ever. Each piece of music can be dissected down to the individual note. With great commentary from Esa-Pekka Salonen and his principal musicians, you are guided through each movement beautifully. Sound and video quality is excellent as are the instrument renders. As far as I can see there are only two problems with the app. Firstly, you will want to buy all the pieces of music on CD and secondly, you will want them to make The Orchestra 2 app as soon as possible. Outstanding work. Congratulations to everyone involved..Version: 1.2.0

Excellent and Informative. High Quality AppThis app does have a higher price than your standard apps however this is a VERY High Quality App. Very informative and interesting material . There was obviously a lot of time, effort and money put into producing this app. I look forward to trying other Touch Press apps. Note there is a small in app purchase you need to make ( only a dollar) to get the full experience and I highly recommend you buy it..Version: 1.2.1

Brilliant !Very well made with excellent quality video, music and info. Worth every cent..Version: 1.2.0

StunningThis is an an incredible introduction to the "secrets" of how an orchestra fits together. A great opportunity for anyone interested in knowing more, especially upper primary and high school kids. The app enables engagement from a variety of angles enabling individuals to seek the knowledge in their own way. Highly recommended..Version: 1.0.1

Gorgeous!This is one of the best apps I have ever seen. I place this on the top of my list of MUST HAVE apps for both music enthusiasts and educators. I LOVE that you can see a tradition notation view or the graphic view so popular in other music creation apps like GarageBand and Logic. This makes the app so useful in a classroom situation for students who do not read standard notation. It also further legitimizes graphic notation in an educational environment, something I am a strong advocate of. The multiple video views of the orchestra and conductor are high quality and engaging. There is also TONS of information and video on the instruments of the orchestra. GREAT for high school & college composition or orchestration classes. The initial offerings of music selections is diverse in it's historical range. I can't wait for more selections. This app is worth every penny!.Version: 1.0.1

What a good app should be likeThis is an interesting, informative look at the orchestra through the use of video, text, and audio. Highly recommended for lovers of classical orchestral music. Once again, Touch Press pulls out all the stops and creates an app well worth the price..Version: 1.0.1

How much work went into this?This is a truly unique and clever app. It is worth the asking price though I recommend going to their website first and watching the video to see if it's what you want. For the bigger pieces (Mahler for example) it is not the full piece, but a movement from each. Highly recommended..Version: 1.0.1

Add interactive musical scores to iTunes.This is a brilliant App and will help any music fan have a greater appreciation for Classical music. Please keep using this format to make more apps for Jazz, Beatles, etc, etc... Or just have Apple fully integrate this technology into iTunes and allow us to purchase the interactive score for any music we buy for an additional fee. Musical scores with the most amount of Pre-Orders could be added to iTunes first..Version: 1.0.1

Beautiful AppAdds to understanding of the music. A lot of hard work must have gone into producing this App. Enjoy..Version: 1.4.6

Two steps from utter perfectionStep One: As suggested elsewhere, expand app to encompass all music ever written. (Once you've experience music like this, you'll realize what you've been missing all your life.) Step Two (and a bit more down-to-earth): enable us to route the sound via AirPlay. (If there's a way to do that now, the method is so obscure as to be invisible.) If it cannot be implemented because, for example, it's impossible for a developer to route sound but not picture, Apple needs to remove that limitation. If the developer has simply failed to provide it, that would make it a Level Two design bug, and it needs to be addressed. People should not have to trail 15 foot cables across their living rooms from iPad to A/V receiver to use iPad apps. (Still five stars because I don't know whose fault it is and because the app is so good that it's worth five stars even with a 15 foot cord.).Version: 1.0.1

Amazing appThis is a great way to listen to classical music. I used to buy music scores to follow alone with the music. This app puts the score, the music, and the excitement of live performance together. Particularly notable is the violin concerto performance by Leila Josefowicz, written by the conductor himself. She is amazing, and it is fun to watch and listen; I worried at any moment she was going to break her violin with the wild movement of her bow. Please make a sequel to this app with even more music..Version: 1.0.1

WowJust stunning.Version: 1.0.1

Phenomenal and well worth itIt's clearly a labor of love, with a terrific user interface and loads of content. Just beautifully done, and if you have any interest in composing orchestral music, it's fantastic. Yes, it's expensive compared to the usual 99 cent apps, but this one is worth it if you have an interest in the subject. Bravo!.Version: 1.0.1

Absolutely gorgeous (even if only short excerpts)For the last 18 months I've dreamed of someone making an orchestral score app for iPad, synchronized with a recording. I am overjoyed that this has now happened! The app is absolutely gorgeous. You can switch between condensed score and full score. It's not dumbed down, but it's still accessible to non-experts. This is the way it should be done. Bravo. The only thing to be aware of is that it does not include the full pieces mentioned in the description, but only 4-6 minute excerpts. On the other hand, you get a good breadth of styles from different times. I hope that eventually entire symphonies will become available in this beautiful medium of score + performance + commentary..Version: 1.0.1

This app validates the existence of the iPad.Composer here, this app is fantastic. It's a revolution for anyone wanting to learn more about the orchestra. It's true - the full orchestra is a bit cryptic, as are the traditional means of learning more about it. "The Orchestra" answers all of the obvious questions, who what why etc. But the incredible parts are the visual tools, as well as being able to interact with the play head so seamlessly. What was that the flutes were doing there? Touch the measure and the playback is seamless. This is how orchestration should be taught. I am at a loss for further praise as my brain is exploding. Pleas,e please, please, expand the repertoire. Even if I have to buy and additional app. It's an unbelievable value, but I would love to have more. Brilliant execution. Bravo..Version: 1.2.3

Magnificent and fascinatingOne of the reasons to own an iPad. Beautiful and endlessly entertaining. I have most of the titles from the company that made this software and they’re all very wonderfully crafted, stable, rich, intriguing and more than worth the seeming pittance they cost. This particular title covers the development of symphonic music by a set of carefully chosen examples, giving you the opportunity to see how this beautiful art form has evolved over time, while also giving you a taste of some of the finest pieces ever recorded..Version: 1.4.6

Flawless ExecutionI could not have asked for a better designed app. This thing really has everything; and as a classical music lover and modern day composer / producer I find the feature set so inspiring and enjoyable..Version: 1.4.6

Revolutionary App, the best on the market!This is without a doubt the best App I have used! If you have an interest in the Orchestra or music in general buy this app. Worth every penny!.Version: 1.2.2

Nice appThis app does a nice job of allowing you to follow songs with detail on the various instruments. The app was easy to navigate, haven't found any bugs thus far. The fidelity of the audio and video were both good on my iPad..Version: 1.4.3

Game Changing!This app and ipad can potentially change the way many people appreciate classical music! If only there is a better way to promote this app to the 'right audience' one can envisage there is a big market for app like this with Mozart's Requiem or Beethovan's symphonies!.Version: 1.0.1

On super appApp is excellent to listen to learn and follow instruments and the musics to see it being played up close.Version: 1.4.6

Love itThis is by far the most used app I have on my iPad, but I do wish more content would be added in the near future. My iPad's storage sure isn't complaining...Version: 1.3.0

Bit expensiveVery good quality app although I think it is slightly to expensive.Version: 1.0.1

Beautiful.This is such a beautiful and incredible app. Thank you to all involved. Such detail and quality. Perfect for music students and orchestra lovers. Buy this app it is worth every penny. Please bring out more..Version: 1.4.0

Great appI only wish they would add a lot more music for me to listen and watch!.Version: 1.4.6

:DThese apps will make your brain more intelligenter.Version: 1.0.1

Review of The OrchestraThis app brings the love and beauty of the orchestra with its variety of songs from very well known composers around. My grandma’s money has been well spent..Version: 1.4.6

Beautifully done!The app is an accessible but beautiful introduction to the instruments and music of an orchestra. I particularly like that the principals provide an overview of their instruments, and they are the same musicians we see in the videos. So far the app is smooth and easy to use. Thank you!.Version: 1.3.0

Beautiful appIt’s a beautifully done app. Very useful too. I only wish they had more pieces! Otherwise it’s absolutely perfect..Version: 1.4.6

Worth the moneyThis app was amazing. I have nothing bad to say for this app.Version: 1.4.4

Really excellentVery informative and brilliantly executed app. A wealth of information, videos and music. Nicely polished too. Good work guys, money well spent! Thank you!.Version: 1.0.1

Outstanding DesignThis app is a masterpiece of programming. All of the video and information is seamlessly integrated, and it is very smooth and easy to flip back and forth between the sections and instruments. It provides a great capsule summary of the instruments and the performers chosen to introduce them are excellent. Particularly enjoyed David Corkhill's sections. One of the best apps I have seen to date..Version: 1.4.0

Fantastic!This is a fantastic app for classical fans as well as students. I would particularly recommend it to GCSE and A-Level music students as there knowledge of instruments can be quickly strengthened using this app after they have "played" with it, also gaining some knowledge of the common classical repertoire..Version: 1.2.0

Well executedThere is not a great deal of content here, which is surprising given the 2 gb size. There are extracts from 8 works. The extracts are brief, about 6 minutes each. But it is impressive. As the piece plays you can turn on and off commentaries and follow the score or choose a camera angle. The reviewer who complained about the in app purchase was unfair. The play alone feature is not essential to the app and besides it only costs a buck to unlock all. The down side to the app is it makes you want so much more. I want a full piece of music done the way of the excerpt. That is now available for Beethoven's ninth by the same developer..Version: 1.2.1

So good!The only disadvantage is there are only 6 pieces: a bit of a bummer because it is such a good app. But it only has 6 pieces. Can there be more?.Version: 1.4.6

Better than the real thingEven watching an orchestra doesn't tell the whole story. This app does. Stunning..Version: 1.0.1

ExcellentI recently took my sons to see this orchestra and now, having this app adds an entirely new dimension to the understanding and appreciation of the concert experience. The app is very well done and provides many interactive ways to listen and learn about the music, instruments and the role of the conductor. Bravo!.Version: 1.0.1

Terrific App and Learning ExperienceThe Orchestra breaks new ground, making the masterpieces of symphonic music available in new digital settings. It is a magnificent experience to hear Esa-Pekka Salonen comment on the music, see the score and hear the Philharmonia play. I can't wait for additional apps and updates. It's been well worth the cost of purchase..Version: 1.2.1

MarvelousThe ORCHESTRA app offers an overture to listening to an orchestra like no other. Follow the instrumental notation as you hear instrumentalists appear, and see how they navigate every crescendo and diminuendo. Help yourself distinguish the oboe from clarinet and bassoon, and marvel at the foundations the violins often play. You will come to appreciate each composer’s artistry and marvel at his / her orchestrations in ways mere listening doesn’t allow. This app is moves Musical Appreciation to a new level. I highly recommend it..Version: 1.4.6

A must for classical music loversFor a deep insight into the orchestra this must surely top the list. Every aspect is explored in depth, with every effort to avoid over-technical terms. A nice touch is the explanation of each instrument by the people that actually play them, and especially endearing are their verbal comments on the pieces played, as the score unfolds before your eyes. The conductor's problems and secrets are unveiled too. I speak as a retired orchestral player and conductor who thought he knew it all, but I still got some new insights. A slight drawback is the ease with which one can miss all the options: a full menu does not seem to appear anywhere, but this can be put right in future editions. An overwhelming success, and well worth the purchase fee..Version: 1.2.3

One Word. Fantastic.What a brilliant designed app. To see the score of the music being played and video in real time with the ability to zoom in on a video just amazing. Also being able to click on a instrument to get info and have a video play of the instrument is fantastic. Love to be able to see more videos and scores. Worth every penny, if not more..Version: 1.0.1

Great AppI'm quite interested in orchestral music. Being able to see the way various pieces are composed, and what role each instrument plays is quite fascinating. The app is well designed and easy to navigate. Can't really complain..Version: 1.4.1

ExcellentForm and functionality combine in a spellbinding work of imaginative brilliance. This app possibly Pushes the boundaries of an interactive tablet in more ways than you can ever imagine. You can explore brief snippets of classical music ( the only slight criticism, these are far too brief) by watching the conductor and the musicians on video in synchronised performances to the music, cleverly the video flits from one instrument to another following the melody, remarkably you can follow the full score and a simplified version. Like Jean Michel Jarre at his intergalactic keyboards you can view beams of pulsating light showing precisely when the musician is playing, touching the beams selects the audio track and the other instruments are muted, it's Fantasia for the 21st century. As you expect from TouchPress you get every instrument of the orchestra in glowing rotational 3D and you listen and watch the musicians talking about there instruments. To give such a novel and interesting approach to actively listening to classical music is a work of pure genius, it must have been a nightmare to code but in its very form its so easy to use. I have no idea what TouchPress have up their sleeves next but it's great to see a team of imaginative artists developers and publishers break new frontiers..Version: 1.0.1

Perfect App!I like this! It helps me to learn to conduct an orchestra!!!.Version: 1.4.5

Awesome Learning ToolThis is a great way to learn about orchestral instruments, track the score as it's played and really get a feel for how the songs are put together. There's a $0.99 in-app purchase which unlocks the ability to hear individual instruments by themselves while playing the pieces. To correct the other reviewer: This one in-app purchase unlocks ALL the songs. I suspect this was implemented this way since iTunes has a 2GB size limit, with the $0.99 covers the additional bandwidth cost to download the extra 600 or so megabytes of the individual tracks..Version: 1.0.1

Please add more songs!Please add more songs like the Nutcracker please!.Version: 1.4.6

It’s a fabulous app for iPads.Makes me wish I had gotten a 12.9 inch iPad Pro to fit more instrumental staves. It just needs more pieces added and maybe a feature to adjust the tempo so we can follow every part more easily. Great work..Version: 1.4.6

Please fix the problem of this appI just updated to the newest version, but I can't open this app on my iPad mini 2 now, please fix this problem as soon as possible, thank you..Version: 1.4.2

SublimeYes, sublime is the word that comes to mind when seeing what this app is, this is one of the best iPad experiences you will have, really takes advantage of what this hardware and software can do, a very rich and pleasing experience is what this app offers in terms of form, the videos provided are of very adequate quality, specially given the fact that many will be streamed at once, then there's the UI which is engaging, simple and intuitive, not to mention eye candy. Then we move on to the content, which is just right for this sort of app, giving just enough to have a breif taste of each selected composer ranging from the very heart of classicism passing by romantism to neoclassicism. If you're wondering, it's very well worth the price, I am however hoping that this selection will grow, I honestly wouldn't mind getting a 128 Gb iPad to keep up with apps as well made as this one, and that CAN potentially get even richer. One last thing, if you think music born before you were is uninteresting, this app has NO top 10 songs of this week, either leave it alone, or try widening your horizon..Version: 1.2.0

The Best Educational App I Have SeenThe care that was put into this app is astounding. In addition to the unique way of experiencing classical pieces, there is so much for kids and adults too learn in the instruments section. My child now can pick out the sounds of each instrument in the orchestra and knows how each one makes its sounds. The videos musicians talking about each instrument are passionate and share just the right amount of detail. And the 3D models really give kids a sense of what each instrument is like..Version: 1.4.6

BuggyWhen you select a piece it closes.Version: 1.4.6

Excellent!An amazing app. Thank you!.Version: 1.0.1

It has been very niceIt’s very nice and easy to use and has a great design and description of all the orchestra’s instruments. It has a variety of almost if not perfect music that I don’t usually hear if never get to hear. It’s pretty much perfect..Version: 1.4.6

Now one for jazzThis is a marvelous tool for helping a novis like me understand classical music performance. Thank you. Now I need to also learn about AMERICAN Classical Music (Jazz) in the same way. Imagine a similar construct with pieces from The great AMERICAN Jazz composers of the major periods. There is something about not only hearing music but seeing the people play the music as one reads the sheet music and listens to overlaid commentary that is remarkably EYE 😳 opening. This is a real breakthrough on my iPad Pro.Version: 1.4.6

Worth every pennyIt's surprisingly difficult to find find music appreciation books or courses fort he absolute beginner who can't read music or play. This app does a huge public service in making a closed world comprehensible. Each instrument is explained by its player. The range of its notes can be played on a piano. Each work is documented. I love this app..Version: 1.0.1

Great AppIt really got me into classical music. The different views of the orchestra, the beatmap, and especially the commentary by Esa-Pekka on each piece gave me a greater understanding for how the music comes together and how some of the pieces tell a story. For those wanting the app Esa-Pekka Salonen is using to compose in the ad the app is called "Notion". They have it in the Featured Section under Esa-Pekka Salonen..Version: 1.3.0

BRILLIANT!This is one of the most beautiful and useful APPs on the market for teachers, parents, students, classrooms and private lessons. There is no other APP that offers what is contained in The Orchestra. I recommend it to every musician and teacher I meet at conferences and those within my professional organizations!.Version: 1.2.1

AmazingIncredible app! Very intuitive and well designed, highly recommended. I thought the asking price was a bit high but I quickly changed my mind! Two suggestions that would make it perfect though. 1- give us the option to listen to only one/select instruments 2- expand the library!.Version: 1.2.3

BrilliantJust another jewel in the crown of TouchPress..Version: 1.2.3

Amazing insightsThanks!tt.Version: 1.4.6

RevueA wonderful app. Thank you. Great insight into how the orchestra and the written music link to produce music. I have always regarded the symphony orchestra as one of the wonders of the world. Thank you.Version: 1.4.6

Fantastic!This is easily one of the best apps I've bought for my ipad, not only is it a great way to investigate orchestras and classical music, it does so by using all of the capabilities of the ipad in an engaging and captivating way, audio, film clips, commentary, graphics, I think the only capability they haven't found a use for (yet?) is the camera. If you have any doubt about the value of this app, go ahead, you won't be disappointed..Version: 1.0.1

Really not worth the priceAnd they ask you to pay more to see the details for the pieces other than the Beethoven. Also, they are not complete. For Beethoven's 5th, they only provide the last movement..Version: 1.4.6

GreatI am really surprised by the production value that goes into the production. From in-sync music note to camera work on each instrument to commentaries, this is really reinventing how classical music can be experienced. It definitely helped me to develop new appreciations for composers, conductors and musicians. I think a comprehensive timeline of periods, important composers and pieces would further enhance the educational value of the app and also make this app a portal to other related apps. One complaint I have is for the price of other apps in the series. As an amateur, I can't justify to pay $14 for a sonata or sonnets once I experienced an entire orchestra for that price..Version: 1.3.1

It is a great app.Thank you for fixing the bug. It works great with all the features. Highly recommended..Version: 1.4.5

I got this App for my grandsons... forget the kids!! I LOVE this app! I am so excited to learn about each instrument that plays in this orchestra! Using the app is easy and gives way to exploration immediately. It is worth the $10 and I recommend it without reservation. Well done!.Version: 1.3.0

MikeThis is an amazing App that is guaranteed to be useful for any music educator. Clearly, a great deal of work and care has gone in to developing this App. Hopefully they will continue to add to the musical selections..Version: 1.2.0

SuperbWonderful app, a lot of fun. Crisply designed allowing viewing score synchronized with video, and interesting facts and features about instruments as well. Very high quality and crisply presented. The commentary, however, is not as deep musicologically as one would like. This app is one of those that is actually more fun to play with than it seems, thanks to how well-made it is..Version: 1.1.0

Fantastic!Wow. This is a fantastic app for anyone who enjoys classical music. I have been listening to some of these pieces for decades, and now I am learning all kinds of nuances thanks to this app. Hopefully more content (including full symphonies) will become available in the future..Version: 1.0.1

Fantastic.Don’t listen to the few negative comments - this app is outstanding. A wonderful learning tool and a delight to use. If you love music, the orchestra, composition, arrangement, etc. you will relish this app. Yes, the price is higher than a regular app, but a lot of work has gone into this, and if you use this app as it’s intended you’re going to get hours and hours out of it, plus a lot of useful knowledge. I hope the developers make more similar apps and/or add in-app purchases to expand the number of pieces. If they do, I will not hesitate to buy..Version: 1.3.1

Awesome!Brilliant app that has everything! Excellent audio, videos and information. Like an all-in-one multimedia textbook. Classy interface! Love it!.Version: 1.2.0

Great way to learn about the orchestra and instruments!Overall, great app! While I love the section about all the instruments; I do think there could be MUCH better pieces of music to highlight the instruments, instead of just showing footage from the main pieces, but it works. The only other feature I really wanted, was to be able to turn on and off each instrument section's sound from the orchestra, and to be able to "highlight" an instrument by making it louder. It can be very hard to pick out each instrument and what it is adding otherwise..Version: 1.4.0

Experience the orchestra inside out!This has got to be the best app for the money, there is so much to do, the possibilities are endless. Must have been a developers nightmare! Well done for being bold N brave! A+++++++ Lets have more!.Version: 1.2.1

Almost perfectA great idea, beautifully put together. Instructive, pleasurable and to me, also inspirational. Would have loved to have been able to access such an app when I was studying orchestration at Music College ten years ago! Why not 5 stars then? Firstly, it needs to be made clearer that only excerpts are available here, the way it's presented is misleading. Secondly, for the price, I would have preferred to be able to choose one complete piece by a composer rather than a selection of short excerpts (no matter how good the selection is - and it is brilliant btw). Finally, having to pay another £0.79 to be hear solo sections seems mean considering it is already an expensive app to start with. Anyway, these are minor gripes really, as I thoroughly enjoy using the app now and then. Now, if I may put forward a request, I would love to see/hear work by Gorecki, Messiaen, Ligeti or Britten given the same treatment....Version: 1.4.1

Amazing for any fan of musicThis app is truly one of my favorites. I highly recommend it for anyone that can appreciate classical music or always wanted to know how an orchestra works. If you can read music, it's a must have.Version: 1.2.0

Beautifully constructed app!This is a great informative app for anyone interested in learning about the orchestra. Cleary a lot of hard work has gone into its production and this is evident throughout. I really like the introductions to each orchestral instrument and the techniques used in the sound production. Also good are the selection of orchestral pieces that can be studied by professional musicians and beginners alike. Overall a very worthy five stars..Version: 1.4.5

Fantastic intro to orchestral musicI was hesitant about buying this due to the price but saw their Beethoven 9 app and thought it looked very promising. Glad I did as this is a wonderful achievement and exactly how an ipad app should be designed. There are several pieces of music played and analysed (be aware that most are excerpts of longer works) and you can move seemlessly between detailed videos of the orchestra playing and being able to follow a score. One of the best features is having a full score or the option to follow only the main instruments- the score is superbly 'curated' for this. There are also commentaries in real time if you wish, spoken or just subtitles. In addition there is an excellent section which explains all the instruments through video, text and image. Altogether it's amazing. As a musician myself I hope they expand this project and as a teacher I am looking forward to using this in school. The works range from Haydn, Beethoven, Berlioz symponies to Debussy prelude, Stravinsky Firebird, Lutoslawski concerto for orchestra and Salonen violin concerto. Any negatives? Only that I'm not sure I need to see the conductor all the time and it would have been good to have at least a complete movement of Beethoven 5. Well done to the developers and of course the Philharmonia Orchestra..Version: 1.2.1

Spectacular!I rarely buy apps, and almost never if they are more than a few dollars. This amazing app is so worth its price! I am not a professional musician, although I do play clarinet, and love to watch a performance section by section to see and hear the different orchestral sound instrumentation. This app is beautifully arranged and so cleverly done that I am in awe every time I listen and watch. I wish there were more performances! Take a chance..if you love music, you won't be sorry.Version: 1.3.2

Incredible - The Future of Classical Music Recordings!This app is a revelation. I studied music and musicology in college, and I have to say that listening to these wonderful excerpts is an experience unlike any I have had with music. Being able to listen to one of these (brilliantly performed) classics with the music and being able to visualize how the orchestra is being used is remarkable. Thanks to this app and to Salonen, I have fallen even more deeply in love with the orchestra. I hope he makes more of these, and soon!.Version: 1.0.1

Simply beautifulWas sceptical if the app would be worth the fairly large price tag, but you bet it is. This is one of the best apps I have ever bought, it's very well made and the content of the app is very enjoyable..Version: 1.0.1

I love itIf you are in any doubt as to the value of this app at £10 think about this, how much is a good classical album, about £9 - £15, with that you may get some sleeve notes and no more, here you have some benchmark orchestral pieces, a detailed explanation of each piece, the full score, it's composer and each of the instruments, you also get to play with the instruments. For me, a hobbyiest composer, this app is just a revelation and truly inspirational. Thank you developer. Any chance of another covering contemporary composers? @jinhu.Version: 1.0.1

Simply Fantastic!For years I've looked for an app that played a symphony while it tracked the score, even crudely. This one does it beautifully. You can split screen and watch both the score and the orchestra or just watch one or the other. There are lots of additional visual goodies like the orchestra seating charts that twinkles as various sections play. Mega kudos to Touch Press. I hope they keep more symphonies coming. Beethoven's 7th would be my personal suggestion - the entire symphony..Version: 1.0.1

An amazing achievement and a great piece of workThis app is interesting, informative and highly entertaining. An absolute must for anyone who listens to classical orchestra music. A great piece of work..Version: 1.4.6

Great stuff!!..Version: 1.0.1

One of those incredible apps......that keeps the iPad afloat. I certainly hope that the developers get their fair share of $$$ in the sale of these apps. This one is truly awesome, and totally worth the price. If you are a music educator or an aficionado of classical music, look no further for a wonderful introduction to the orchestra. I am especially fond of the score scrolling function, and the sound isolation feature. For those who are critical of the choice to include one of Maestro Salonen's own works, then perhaps you should experience the piece in the app. Not only is it an exciting work that represents music of today, it features an incredible violinist who COMPLETELY OWNS THE PIECE, like a rock star..Version: 1.2.3

Music than you can listen and understandThat my first app for touch press. It really good way to understand music no just listen but also readying about it. This atop is price but have a lot of work on it. It not good you have to pay more for hear specific instrument in a song. They just did give the option if the space was the problem..Version: 1.3.2

One Of My Favorite AppsThis is an outstanding app, unmatched in its level of quality. It is equally engaging for our three-year-old as it is for the adults. This app has been in ongoing use in our family for over a year, and it's still a favorite. I can't recommend it highly enough. I hope to see more full orchestra versions by this same company..Version: 1.4.1
