What an odd video to illustrate a binaural recording.

What an odd comment. Why is this odd? In a church you are surrounded by sound because the organ pipes are spread around and the enclosure is filled with resonances and bouncing sound, so binaural stereo picks up the real sound better than regular stereo. There are plenty of music ensemble videos with binaural stereo, but with little surround because of the setting. This is a video of a church organ concert. It is meant to show and sound like what it is like to actually be there, sitting in the church.

And, there is still more activity in this video than the one with the stream. And, technically, the audio has much greater dynamic range and makes use of the full frequency spectrum, unlike bird calls and bubbly water.

But seriously, what do you mean? Binaural stereo videos of concerts and recitals are all over the web.
