If you like multitracking in classical as well, go for Deutsche Grammophon recordings, they are very much in to multitracking. Cant suggest particular recordings, because i dont like multitracking in classical.

er do you actually mean multitracking or do you mean multichannel. (Just to clear up any possible confusion)

Multitracking: The concept of recording in a large number of channels (very generally speaking). Like when an orchestra has every single instrument individually miked. This is these days generally accepted to not be the best way to record in a space with good natural acoustics. At the other end of the spectrum are the 5 channel surround discs which consist of 5 mics plugged into 5 recorders. This can give extremely good results if done well.
Multichannel: An audio format that is designed to reproduce sound from more than 2 speakers (anywhere between 3.0 and 5.1 for SACD).

I think we are not adding classical titles because there is a similar thread almost identical to this one for classical music:
/showthread/5932//y?page=first
It is only slightly older than this thread.

This is not exactly correct. 5 channel surround only means that the final mix contains five discrete channels. How these were derived can not be said. It could actually have been 5 mikes, but also many more or the five channels could artificially be created from a stereo recording (e.g. AMSI II)etc.
Multitracking means that the signals are recorded onto several seperate tracks of a recorder.The number of channels mustn't be identical because several channels can be summed to one of the tracks.
Also in a 2 track recording several channels can be used during recording, the difference is that they have to be mixed before being printed to the recorder.
The idea behind multitracking is to be able to do this mix (balance, equalising and, and, and...)after the recording has been done. There is therefore more time, and more possibilitys for signal processing.
