I listened to some records from late 50's, early 60, and even some recent digital of 1957 recordings. They were on to something back then that even could no longer be captured during the 70's (probably from the switch to solid state). What a shame, the move to digital recording in the 1980's lost a whole generation of music.
Hopefully, we have figured this out by now and can, at least, have digital masters that are faithful to the event being recorded.

I believe that in the 50's and 60's, most listeners were familiar with what live unamplified music sounds like. As we "progressed" to the 21st century you can't even here live music when you go to a live concert. Amplifiers are used everywhere. People who have never heard a real live acoustic performance assume that detail is everything, and that is what the multi-miked digital recordings give you, but they don't sound real (at least to me!). (Of course there are exceptions.)
