Asking Siri to play classical music is frustrating

[Scampo]

I'm struggling, not just with Siri but also Alexa, to ask for certain music to be played, especially classical pieces. Last night, while driving, I tried to ask Siri to play St Saens piano concerto No 2 using my phone and Spotify. Whatever I asked, I got something else.

Has anyone else struggled with this and found an answer?

i just tried asking Siri to play St Saens on my Home Pod. It failed to recognise the composer. Even autocorrect kept trying to change his name. I think its just a question of phonetics.

Thanks for replying. I’ve worked out that if I say “Camille Saint Seens”, it works!

I will try that or maybe “Dance Macabre”!
