Opinion: Half of the reason to listen to choral works is the acoustics in the recording

As I was listening to KCSM ( I always want to call it KFC)  this morning I got a big dose of choral music and I thought to myself that for this particular type of music, the recording venue is at least half as important as the music if not more so.  Perhaps no other type of recorded music has so much of an implicit dependence on the original room acoustics, and therefore, demands our own listening environment be more receptive than average.
