For me its always Kind of Blues especially Flamenco Sketches.
But I'd like a few more (digital preferably but not exclusively) so I can Give Miles a rest...
here is a quick 2 to consider.
Roger Waters; Amused To Death, not sure this is really 'imaging' per,se since it's phase manipulation. but it is a system sound-staging test recording.
cut 2, "What God Wants", Lp--original pressing........if your system is really dialed in you will 'clearly' hear stuff behind you on each side. it's on the better digital transfers too. i bought the recent re-issue Lp but have not played it so can't say whether it's as good as the original. the music is an acquired taste. not ever going to be in heavy rotation.
the Weavers, 'Reunion', Classic Records 45rpm box set; "Guantanamera", 7 real people singing. you can 'see' heads turn, tiny little inflections and body movements. feel the space. spooky. 'you are there'. every cut is like that. but this one is amazing and sets the bar very high.

I use these four recordings a lot for imaging and depth analysis:
1) Jazz at the pawnshop -Limehouse Blues (live)
2) Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue (live)
3) Kiss in Blue - Yello (Studio)
4) Pat Metheny Group - Half Live of Absolution (live)
Which Rhapsody in Blue recording? Thanks. Larry
Leonard Bernstein.
Yes, most are recorded in the orchestra's performance space but the term "Live" is usually reserved for those made with an audience present.Most Symphonic pieces are "Live" because they are minimally miced in the auditorium with little to no mixing afterward. By not live, it means studio multitrack recording with mixing and processing after.
