Mike selection and placement and mixing decisions have a lot, perhaps everything, to do with conveying a sense of "thereness"*--which (in addition to the quality of the performances themselves) is why some RBCD's as well as analog-sourced SACD's turn me on far more than some highly-touted DSD-sourced SACD's.(And if you're reading this, Geoff, one example is the live-performance Irving Fine "Symphony 1962" on Phoenix PHCD 106, an AAD reissue of a 1962 performance at Tanglewood.)
* A term I'd qualify with the caveat that the best we theoretically can hope to hear at home is mike feed (which is not what we typically hear at live acoustic music concerts) filtered through the various signal iterations an artist's or ensemble's output goes through from the recording venue to the listener's ears.
