You get this effect when a performance is recorded in the right kind of reverberant venue, with the mics placed a distance away form the performers, so the reflected sounds are up front in the mix.
Minimalist? Maybe. Though use two extra stereo mics back in the hall and you will get a huge effect of space. Generally, musicians don't really want to emphasize the room they are in when they are putting something on tape. It can be very distracting. They mic everything up close to maximise the s/n ratio. Some old classical records are just too echoey.
Also, you can do virtual space pretty easily with computers nowadays.
