I would argue that MOST people who go to live, unamplified concerts close their eyes from time to time during a concert. I look around and see many people with their eyes closed.
Obviously not for the whole concert but for snippets here and there it is an intersting experience and I would also agree that the instruments sound larger than they look.
In fact a large image is exactly what you get when you hear an instrument played relatively loud in a smallish space. You wouldn't believe how big a Strad sounds in a 20 square meter room when going full bore on Paganini Caprices. Given that a lot of recordings are close mic'd to begin with one would not expect a midhall image size...which is somewhat small for a solo instrument.
