Whether something sounds good or not has little to do with recording quality.
Live music more often than not doesn't sound good, at least relative to my hifi listening experiences.
And this is so blatantly obvious sometimes I wonder how often some of these people actually listen to live music. They actually consider it the holy grail of home audio reproduction.
How ludicrious! Studio reproductions got alot more going for them than many audiophiles want to admit.
BTW - live/minimalist recordings are my favorite recordings. But when it gets right down to it the sound of the average studio production played back in my living rooms sounds better than say 70% of the live productions I attend.
