Today I was looking for music by Jean Sibelius (just learned about him on a trip to finland a few months ago).

I go to his Spotify page (i know, i know....) and there are literally 50 new releases this year... most of them i assume are the musical equivalent of shovelware.... lame compilations like, "classical music for focusing", "50 best classical songs for summer", "epic classics!"... album covers with clearly AI slop.....

even adding the name of a reputable orchestra doesnt do much...

How do you sort through the trash? What reputable labels should i search along with the composer name?

I pretty much filter out everything before 2000 just to be sure...

i'm looking to switch to qobuz... not sure if they have better quality control...

(Yes, i still buy physical CDs... my question is about online discovery)

Apple Music classic if you want to stream. Soulseek if you want to sail some seas.
