Do Classical Composers Make Money off of their music today?

As an example, Bach has approx. 6 million listeners monthly on Spotify. Who gets those royalties? Are they profit for streaming services? Donated? Given to a trust?

The composition is public domain, anybody can use it. The performance is the copyright of the performer, though, so they get their royalty if you play it (unless they specify it’s royalty free or are getting screwed over)
