. . . that we don't have more recent examples of coincident miking of large ensembles aside from the Water Lily recordings. But I think it would take real courage for a company to do it, because wrong placement of the mikes is more disastrous with the coincident technique. (If it's wrong, the recording really can't be "saved" like a multi-microphoned or spot miked recording can.) It's understandable that no one is willing to risk the expense and loss if the recording turns out badly - which is a real possibility, since commercial audio engineers these days no longer seem to have the history and experience with coincident placement that their predecessors had decades ago.

BTW, I remember that recording, "The Cello Galaxy"! It was one of the first selections I ordered when I was a member of the old "Capitol Record Club". Of course, I only had the mono version. ;-)
