I have no religious affiliations left but I listen to the Traditional
Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from Kings College Cambridge which
is broadcast live on BBC Radio every Christmas Eve. For choral singing
and music mixing, this is about as good as it gets.
I listened this year in "HD sound" at 320kbs and compared it with the
regular feed and on my computer I couldn't hear any difference - both
were excellent.

However, BBC Radio has just put up a binaural version of the 2007
'Carols from Kings' which was recorded in 4.0 quadrophony which is a
different mix from 5.1 surround sound. This can be heard in Quad with
downlosed software and sent to 4 equally spaced speakers, or - a very
new development - in binaural sound. The quad has been encoded into
binaural with different "head shapes" and can be heard on:
