Best multichannel SACDs?

I know there are a lot of excellent two channel SACDs out there of two channel recordings. I've tried some.
However, what about multi-channel SACDs?
I'm looking for some opinions on what you think are good surround recordings on SACD that DO NOT have goofy mixes with instruments and voices in the rear channels. I don't want to be in the middle of the band/orchestra; I want to be in the Hall/room/club with the appropriate ambient sound, as a member of the audience. (remember, that's SACD, not those horrible "compressed" DTS & DD recordings)
I was looking for a previous thread on this subject by doing a search, but there's way too many and I was going cross-eyed. If you know such a thread, point me at it please, or just leave your thoughts here.......Thanks.

And which Carmina Burana is that? (I am colorblind.) ;-)

Even those of us who use MCH (SACD and otherwise) would think that Tireguy's suggestions of researching those websites for stuff already posted and praised is a good idea. Anyone's taste is hard to know, so it's best if you glean what suits you from those listings.

It is a matter of taste. For example, I do not doubt that some of the earlier suggestions in this thread, e.g., Roxy Music, Police, Elton John, etc., are decent recordings (relying on the assessment of others) but I don't care to hear them. Same for Carmina Burana at this stage in my life.

That's why I say that reading a list of recommended MCH recordings, mine or anyone else's, lets you pick what appeals to you. And since such lists and suggestions are rife, you can look 'em up.
