Classical Court From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here. |

In Reply to: You're making this too difficult. Spacial cues are either retained or they're not. nt posted by jdaniel@jps.net on September 1, 2020 at 09:29:56:
Just because a given listener doesn't hear them doesn't mean they aren't there. ;-)
Face it, one of the reasons you like that Beecham recording is because it's more distantly recorded, and, therefore, the mix of direct sound to reflected sound is more in favor or the latter (compared to the Reiner recording) - which is in line with your preferences. Nothing wrong with that. That doesn't mean that there are no spatial cues on the Reiner recording. It's only IN YOUR OPINION that there are not enough spatial cues on the Reiner recording. In Scott's opinion (and mine) there are plenty of spatial cues there.
When it comes to the engineering, I like the Beecham recording too, but MY PREFERENCES are often for more close-up sound.
