Classical (and Other) Streaming Services
[…] In terms of catalog size, my impression based on my random searching and the Classical Candor test is that Qobuz is in the middle of the pack, slightly ahead of Idagio but slightly trailing Primephonic.

Michel Chapuis, One Of 20th Century's Greatest Organists, Dead At 87
He held some of the most prestigious positions his profession had to offer - at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Saint-Séverin in Paris, and the Chapelle Royale at Versailles - and he was a pioneer, as performer and scholar alike, in reviving the organ repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries, notably on historical organs.
