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 don't know whether comparing versions on Spotify would help but :

Thanks for the replies. Nativedsd is where I got that download. I remember going through a bunch of selections on Qobuz and not finding anything satisfactory. The LP that was pointed out is available on Discogs but not cheap. I’ll keep searching.
