Romy,
We all know that with audio it is rarely an all or none matter. I have no problem with venue recording, i.e. not in a studio but obviously the musicians, the engineers and the masterers can mess things up. With respect to audio, I have no issue hearing plenty of reverb (reflected sound) if the recording is not close mic'ed. Even through the computer (with external DAC and tube headphone amp) I can hear well controlled reverb. I tend to hear a bit more on a well recorded LP than a CD. SACDs provide a bit more reverb info but they have other issues compared to CDs. It is mainly pop recordings that sound mostly dry, because they often are concurrent mono. The vogue for lots of added reverb went out in the 60s for the most part in the pop world. Now my systems are not at your levels or state of the art, so I am sure others hear the reverb quantitatively better, but I am hearing quite a bit myself and don't feel a strong need to add more reverb in the majority of classical recordings. Pop recordings are a different matter.
Yes I have Walcha's Bach recordings. Some of Leonhardt's recordings of Bach and others have a lot of venue reverb too
