authentic space recordings


hi. recently i downloaded the first couple of albums from norah jones. love them! with that type of music in mind, i'm wondering what recommendations there are for music like that recorded in a "space" like a club or hall or church. one of the things i love about music is being able to transported to some other space - not necessarily a recording booth. heh, maybe i just want reverb :) thanks

Decca was known for recordings that superbly reproduced the acoustics of the halls they were made in.  The Phillips recordings from the Concertgebouw in the seventies with Haitink did the same.

  Recently Andris Nelson’s and the Boston Symphony did a Shostakovich cycle.  The high resolution download was to my ears a very faithful conveyance of that hall, which I have attended a few times in the last decade.

  When my triplets were one year old we had a birthday party and my camcorder captured a faithful rendering of my daughter bawling bloody murder.  Contact me if interested
