When will there be decent classical music recordings?

@tatyana69    thank you for bringing it up! Based on the responses here the idea of bringing an extra dimension into classical music bothers a lot of a'goners!
I totally agree with the sentiment of Alex Ross from his book "The Rest is Noise" that segregating music into Music and Classical Music is WRONG... (a disclaimer, that is one of just two books I had read about music in my entire life! The other one was about Pink Floyd, the band Alex Ross referred to as "sounding like Mahler"). Most of us (myself included!) take this distinction a bit too serious... 
Once this segregation is disregarded as moot, I will be thrilled to hear DSOTM in surround with Gilmour guitar flying around me as much as "classical" recording from the perspective of being inside the orchestra. Totally agree with the guys that this has nothing to do with the original "intent" of the composer, but listening to Tchaikovsky under late Celibidache no one can pretend that they are listening to the "original intent" of the composer!... Beautiful, transcendent, but Definitely not the original intent!!! 

Wow, I feel just the opposite! I wish more popular music was recorded with the approach more typical of classical music recordings. The most irksome thing about most contemporary popular music recordings is the squashing of dynamic range, followed by having the musicians sounding as though they're playing in different rooms. I do have to admit that, perhaps due to the microphones being placed above the strings, and piano, rather than in front, I often hear these instruments as being overly bright. Also, I would on some level expect to hear chamber music differently than symphonic music. With chamber music I tend to prefer the musicians in my room perspective a bit more, and with symphonic music I tend to prefer the perspective of being transported to the concert hall.

Oh no, no 'flying guitars' for me please. However, if we start talking about ambient atmospheric tribal music, then I might agree that surround sound may have the place, should be recorded and mastered well though.
