Recommend a recording that shows of soundstage

Im interested if someone can recommend a particular recording that excels in image height, depth, layering and particularly, beyond the speakers imaging. I've often thought that imaging was highly recording dependent.

I recently picked up Mehta's The Planets and was astonished at what I heard.

Glad you liked Simao?
History is a great recording. One of those albums you want to crank to 11. In fact, a lot of Michael Jackson's recording are nicely done.

Lyrita recordings are some of my favorites for depth and dimensionality. Try Boult's Bax, Holst, and Moeran discs.

Many Lyrita recordings were made by Ken Wilkinson. Many of the recordings he made in Kingsway Hall (mostly for Decca, I believe) are still audiophile classics.

Decca is another favorite. Here's an excellent example of one of their recordings from the Vienna Sofiensaal:
