With the exception of classical, and some jazz recordings, close mic is and has been for many years, standard practice. One also adds "air mics" in a pair or Decca tree. So on a multitrack recording, 48 channels, each recorded close mic is by no means unusual.

This pic of how the BBC handle St. John Smith Square is helpful. There
are two Blumlein pairs high above the orchestra, and a single spot mic
on the solo harpsichord. Just visible on the high balcony on the right
is one of the ambience mics.

In the past when I have been there, they have also had a Jecklin disc
a few yards behind the conductor. I'm betting they aren't going to use
the output from all of there, but tracks are cheap so why not record
them all?
