Seeking Schumann 4th that is listenable

I have this DSD 256 rendition of Schumann Symphony 2 and 4. https://i.imgur.com/TzKJdnp.png It sounds shrill and harsh and I can’t take more than 5 minutes of it. My digital chain is very good although it can’t quite compete with my analog side. I’m leaning towards this recording just being bad even though it came out recently, in 2019 and it is in DSD 256. What’s a good source of high resolution digital classical recordings?

I consider good renditions with good sound the following ones:

- Barenboim, Staatskapelle Berlin (recorded 2021)

- Thielemann, Staatskapelle Dresden (2018)

- Sawallisch, Staatskapelle Dresden (1973, remastered 2015)

- And of course Szell, Cleveland Orchestra (SACD)

I think you can listen the first three in Qobuz
