From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

RE: No, Amazon is not the equal of Qobuz in hi-res.

This morning I was playing the Poulenc 2 Piano Concerto files referred to recently by JDaniel. Amazon says they are 96/24 files. I verified with MusicScope that they are true 96/24 files, not just 96/24 containers.

I don't have the means to verify bit perfect. I assume that Amazon is getting the same files as Qobuz. I have checked many of Amazon's B/D claims against Qobuz' and they seem the same.

I have no horn.

PS: I don't have Tidal anymore, but when I did I ran many files through MusicScope and found that they most often fell well short of Red Book in frequency extension.
