Recommend a recording that shows of soundstage


Im interested if someone can recommend a particular recording that excels in image height, depth, layering and particularly, beyond the speakers imaging. I've often thought that imaging was highly recording dependent.

I recently picked up Mehta's The Planets and was astonished at what I heard.

Hi, I was not a fan, my wife is, now I am a fan, Believe it or not, Michael Jackson-Greatest Hits History volume 1, has a unblievable, chills up and down your body sound stage and clarity that is something to behold!, cheers.
Took response34's advice and played Madonna's "Vogue" and was blown away by the soundstage. It did indeed extend beyond my de Capo's horizontal plane! In fact, much of The Immaculate Collection post 1984 is immaculately produced. Thanks for the tip, r34.
Glad you liked Simao?
History is a great recording. One of those albums you want to crank to 11. In fact, a lot of Michael Jackson's recording are nicely done.
Lyrita recordings are some of my favorites for depth and dimensionality. Try Boult's Bax, Holst, and Moeran discs.

Many Lyrita recordings were made by Ken Wilkinson. Many of the recordings he made in Kingsway Hall (mostly for Decca, I believe) are still audiophile classics.

Decca is another favorite. Here's an excellent example of one of their recordings from the Vienna Sofiensaal:
