ECM Records streaming?

[94941]

Which streaming service has the largest ECM Records catalog? I naively assumed Apple Music would have it but have been disappointed. They've got a few titles from the ECM label but not many. I read somewhere that Google Play has ECM but haven't found much evidence that it does. In fact, it's hard to figure out just what Google Play has. I've also read that Manfred Eicher of ECM isn't crazy about streaming so I guess that's a handicap.

 

Being able to explore the extensive and wonderful ECM catalog would really sell me on a streaming service.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm in the US so, unfortunately, Qobuz is not an option. And actually I was looking just for the streaming option anyway, although, I'm sure I would wind up buying some ECM titles additional to what I already have. I'll check outSpotify in more detail.

Sweeeet! I've been waiting for this for years.  I'm listening to the Keith Jarrett Trio playing My Foolish Heart as we speak. 

 

I'll be streaming the ECM catalog every day for at least a couple of hours. I'm looking forward to exploring some of their less famous artists whose CD's I never took a chance on. 

 

Streaming may not offer ECM the kind of money they want but we don't live in the world of LP's only anymore and haven't for a long time. It'll mean more money for them than they've been getting by pretending that the world hasn't already moved on.

 

And I'll be buying whichever ECM discoveries I like the most. I'm sure I'm not the only one. So I hope it's a financial success for them.
