two and three microphone classical and jazz recordings shine because of the microphones which are capturing the layering of the instruments in the space. No dropped in multi tracking. There is no phase issues, simulated imaging, etc. you hear the natural timbre and decay
try going to the symphony, closing your eyes and picking out each violist, viola or cello.
if they play in unison you should hear them as one albiet with a width and depth to the emsemble section
you hear the orchestra, you hear the room
the minimal mics pick this up spectacularly
i wish more pop musicians would do straight takes with minimal mikes in the studio with a lot of acoustic instruments and electronics played at matched volumes. Sure you can’t isolate an anoying mistake here or there but the imaging is to die for.
Classical Recordings - they practically give away used classical records from the analog era which nearly always are in mint condition.
there are a few chamber pieces where each instrument is recorded in the round ala 5.1
does the cello have to jump out from behind you?
not my cup of tea
