you need to record anechoically for a live
sound, and there isn't a producer alive who would do that

I;m not following this - don't you often record classical and jazz in a
performance venue (hall, club, whatever) to try and recreate the experience of
a listener? Sometimes this was done literally with a stereo mic (or ambisonics)
but more often it's multi mic, but in the same kind of hall? You're not
suggesting recordings like those Toscanini had in that infamous NBC studio,
which sounded dry as a bone? Not what one would hear live. Have I missed
something here?

Just my interpretation of "live" - I took it to mean that you had the
impression the musicians were in the room with you. To achieve that,
you must record anechoically. This is very nearly achievable.

The other version of "live", in which you believe yourself to be at
the venue where the recording was made has never even been approached.
