It turns out that I do have a lot of those recordings that you mention. So would you say that all EMI classical recordings up to a certain year used coincident miking? And if so, what is that year? Or is that too broad a statement? I tried to do some research yesterday, but my results were inconclusive. I would guess that some European recordings that originally appeared in the US on the Capitol label might also have been recorded this way, such as the Kempe/BPO recordings, or the Firkusny/Susskind recording of the Beethoven Third Concerto?

As for Robert E. Greene, he and I got off on a bad foot several years ago when I dissed Kavi's Mahler Fifth on the Water Lily label (which REG had a hand in) - which BTW brings up another interesting point. Do you know of any modern (say, post-1990) recordings of large symphonic ensembles (orchestras) that have used pure coincident miking, other than the Water Lily recordings? I know there have been some binaural recordings, but that's not quite the same.
