As witnessed occasionally, as part of the day job I have to maintain
some radio broadcast equipment at Ely Cathedral and sometimes stop for
choral evensong if its that time of the day, and its a good stress
buster too;!. That always sounds more distant then whatever I'd hear at
home no matter where I can practically sit!....

The operative words being "where you can practically sit".
The conductor has a different perspective however.
