PS Audio - Surround Sound not more popular with Audiophiles?

I went to a symphonic performance of Holst’s “The Planets.” There is a chorus that is off-stage and shows up very late in the piece. In that show, the chorus was in the balcony, above and behind my seats. It was magical!

But more to your point, I know many rock stereo recordings where various instruments get panned around the sound field. And I don’t recall a drummer flying back and forth between the wings of the stage, but if you listen to Rita Coolidge’s “We’re All Alone,” it happens.

Do they still include Pluto?

Angus Young likes to traverse the stage in an L-C-R kind of way.

The original composition came out before Pluto was discovered, so it never did. I've seen a couple of "updates" to the piece that included a "Pluto, the [whatever]" but Holst wouldn't have recognized it.
