Having listened to the entire CD (and doing so again ATM), I'd say the distance and presence are IMHO *exactly right*. In fact, adding more reverb would make it more 'commercial'. Some people would maybe would like it, but it would be wrong for this music. In a previous life I recorded a hundred or so concerts at the yearly Early Music Festival in Bruges, Belgium. Most of these were performed in churches, and in some cases (when the music wasn't ever meant to be played there) this completely spoiled the experience for most of the audience (and sometimes the recording as well).
