Replying to both you and Presto,"The "image" in most recordings is created not captured, made by panning a source"
Certainly true for studio "pop music" recordings, and even live multi-mic performances. Really good mixing engineers use more than just panning. They might also use EQ, reverb quality, and other tools differently for the signal sent to each channel - for individual tracks, in order to improve the believability of placement in the stereo stage and soundscape.
"... it is hard to capture a live event in true stereo."
All of the "classical" recordings I've done have used simple "minimalist" microphone techniques. A-B, coincident, ORTF, or variations of them. Each technique has its own pluses and minuses. Which one I use generally depends upon the size and instrumentation of the performing ensemble, and the size and acoustics of the space. So, yes, it can be a challenge to achieve a good stereo image and soundscape if a person doesn't know what they're doing.
