I don't think you really understand the pyscho acustics of sound reproduction in a room. It is hopeless to try to mimic a concert hall especially since a piano played there will be recorded and processed to the taste of the recordist.
In any case, an instrument played in a room should not have a 1D sound stage or contain digital glare (artefacts)

I am not going to waste any more time arguing with you Fred, because you don't seem to be capable of understanding what I write. You put words in my mouth that I never said and never would say.

I was thinking about this thread. There is no way (baring lots of money) to reproduce what I heard there in my "listening room". Close is all I can ask for, which includes a taste of the space where the recording was made. However, if it had been recorded to TL's standards, minus the "ambiance" of the venue which was quite awesome, "flat", "this sucks" and "boring" would have been the result.Taking your ball and going home really does make the case that your ears suck despite whatever technical proficiency you claim to have above all others.
You have an informed opinion, that is all.

I hope I made it clear that recordings made to transport the musicians and their instruments to the listening room will not work for large ensembles unless the listener is a billionaire and owns a concert hall. Given that pipe organs are generally huge and would never fit in a home, it would be stupid to record a pipe organ without ambiance.
The exception might be a small portable pipe organ. Here's a picture of my favorite. This one was intended to be used outside, so recording with no ambiance would be appropriate. To hear a recording of this organ follow the linked video, starting at 42:15. The movie includes brass, as well... Enjoy :-)
