While there will always be variations in the sound of particular instruments, halls and performers, there is an unmistakable character to what you hear with unamplified instruments and voice in space. Harry preferred sitting center orchestra about row G. His close friend and reviewing partner in crime, JWC had his season tickets in the loge. Different perspectives but both render the same concept.
My wife's Nordiska piano sounds different from a Steinway or a Bosendorfer, but all deliver examples of The Absolute Sound free from electronic distortions.
His objective was to capture that sense of realism you only hear devoid of sound reinforcement.
