best recordings for a sense of scale


One of the main things that facsinates me about high end audio is it's ability to convey a sense of space. Play one album and your in a small jazz club with a very intimate feel, play a different album and you can very well be transported to a huge capacious expanse.

in this months Stereophile, one of the writers wrote, audiophiles at their best are custodians of many libraries.

That got me thinking it might be a good idea to open the question up:

What are the best songs you could recommend to best illustrate a sense of scale?

I'm personally not real interested in classical and opera which would be the obviouse choices.

Thanks for any help.

If I am to understand this thread, we are to recommend a recording which can show off your system. I recommend : Flim & the BB's "This is a Recording". I would say beyond the music being excellent, this has it all.
