Thanks so much for making medici.tv available via of thr TPL.
Simply fantastic!
This is an amazing addition to the online services. Thank you TPL!
Thanks very much for this offering, I have been using this website for years. Now it’s even better as it’s free with my TPL account. Keep up the good work on all these online access.
I hope you also look into the Berlin Philharmonic Digital Concert Hall as well, it’s the best streaming site for live/archive classical concerts out there.
It’s a shame that Medici TV is so problematic in its online broadcasting. The internet is strewn with complaints and to rub salt in the wound they completely ignore pleas for help! Very arrogant and annoying. Be very wary signing up with them. They ignore requests to unsubscribe and keep charging your credit card!
Initially sceptical, about trimming Hoopla to get this service and the amount of free classical music elsewhere, I’ve been won over especially by the dance videos. Chromecasting into a large screen and good sound system is working well, and should be a must for future offerings.
