What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage?


I’m optimizing my seating position and speaker position in my room and need some new musical selections to use as a reference for projecting depth well beyond the speakers. What are your top choices?

Bonus points if they are available on Qobuz or Tidal, though vinyl record suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Holst's The Planets, Sir Adrian Boult conducting The New Philharmonia Orchestra with Chorus. EMI ASD 2301.

Just a reminder, you suggested that I listen to Isolde Lasoen’s album “Oh Dear”.  The track Douce Melancolie is one of the best for extending past the speakers, but doesn’t qualify as new to you.
