Tidal streaming and classical music


Tidal has 50 million songs, but the classical choices are terrible IMO!

Try finding common “war horse” recordings and you are SOL!

Good choices are missing in action!

What is a classical buff to do?

Why has nobody setup great classical CD quality streaming in the USA?

How much longer do we have to wait? This is 2018 not 1993 early internet!

I don't know if you get Quobuz over there as I am in UK but I have it and think it is first class. When I was looking around for a streaming service I put my old stallwart in their search engine which is Charles Valentin Alkan and it came up with loads of results. For anyone new to him he was a friend of Chopin and Liszt and a phenominal pianist himself. It is said when he was going on stage to play if Liszt found out Alkan was in the audience he would get really nervous. He wrote some really interesting stuff but was not played too often because of the extreme difficuties involved in playing the torrents of notes . There are no end of supremely gifted pianists today who do play him, Marc-Andre Hamelin being a noted one.
