It does not need to be an extraordinary event (phenomena) when a system with a digital source is extremely fine tuned.
What you seem to be describing or hinting at is the ambient or reverberant information of the recording hall itself and the music's interaction with it. Without doubt, more than any other element this is the most critical to reproduce any sense of a live performance as this is where the magic of a live performance really lies.
This 'phenomena' can easily be reproduced with nearly every recording. Even with many of those recordings deemed to be the most inferior recordings. In fact, although vinyl can excel at this 'phenomena' I've yet to hear this same extreme level of performance with any vinyl.
Please note that when I say easily reproduced, I mean easily done over and over again with even some of the most inferior CD recordings once one knows what is required to even reproduce it at all.
Hence, when it comes to the very best playback systems I couldn't disagree more.
-IMO
