authentic space recordings

hi. recently i downloaded the first couple of albums from norah jones. love them! with that type of music in mind, i'm wondering what recommendations there are for music like that recorded in a "space" like a club or hall or church. one of the things i love about music is being able to transported to some other space - not necessarily a recording booth. heh, maybe i just want reverb :) thanks

so how about adding a twist - on an old telarc CD, 1812 overture, there's a point where i can hear the bells of the courtyard/quad, in some cases up and behind me! there's an old madonna cd (immaculate collection) where there's stuff going on all over the place. so this is obviously digitally added in,

but the point is: how about 2 channel that sounds like surround-sound?

Madonna CD used QSound in the recording. Here is a list of some other QSound Recordings.

The Bernstein Carmen with Marilyn Horne in the title role comes as close as I think a recording could to duplicate such as large space as the Met.

I wish I still had my 45 rpm record that came with my JGI Joe mercury capsule. That was a real space recording.

More evocative and mysterious than probably any other of their releases...The Unforgettable fire certaintly is not short on atmospherics...it was recorded in a fricikin castle!
