Streaming it in 'HiFi' from new streaming service, TIDAL, now available in the USA!
Link below: Said to be 16/44.1 Lossless FLAC.

So how do you like it so far? How's their selection? How much does it set you back each month? Inquiring minds want to know. ;-)
Not even close to Spotify.
Search Spotify using the search term 'Bruckner' and tell me how many 'albums' are returned to choose from.
900-1000?
Same for QOBUZ.
TIDAL gets you just 30.
Sorry, got to do better than that.
What if you search by artist rather than by composer? Are you saying Tidal doesn't have a lot of depth to its catalog yet, or is it just that their search function / database itself needs improvement?
if the maximum number of 'albums' they return for any given search is 30?
Search TIDAL with the search term 'Leonard Bernstein' and ya get 30 albums.
That's it.
Search 'Bernstein Sibelius' on TIDAL you get four 'albums'.
QOBUZ gives you 50 but with duplicates, '100 Best' box sets, plus some Sibelius that have nothing to do with Bernstein, etc.
So perhaps they have a deep catalog but if you can't find what you are looking for because they only show the first 30 of any search you make, it may not matter.
Lot of Chandos on TIDAL.

Just streamed it up to the big system via AirPlay/Lossless FLAC and the wife, the Faure Requiem expert in the house says:
"Sorry. No match for the one pictured above!"
But thanks for the tip, I thought it was GREAT!

Super in every way.

Different performance, different label (EuroArts vs. Erato) and Chen Reiss (soprano) instead of Phillipe Jaroussky (countertenor).
Funny, at least in the old days, record contracts had anti-re-recording clauses... .
ATB,

PS: In case I have not made it clear, a little of the Requiem goes a long way for this former boy soprano, but I can listen to the Cantique on Repeat... .
