What I get in some Hi-rez is a bit more of the spatial stuff than the same in red book.
BUT Hi-rez is not really necessary for that as many beautifully recorded old recordings, some originally analog--some originally digital, can attest. It may take a high performing DAC to bring it out. Consider the Monteaux Daphnis and Chloe (analog) or the Ashkenazy Rachmaninov Symphony 1 (digital) for ex. Beautiful wall-to-wall sound. I'm sure we could all name a bunch.
IMHO it is the laziness of record producers and engineers who, rather than dong a lot of serious listening to mike set-ups, throw out a forest of microphones and "fix it in the mix" which is to blame. So much current recording is far less satisfying then the old stuff.
