They are lively but I still find them pretty shouty overall with the vocals.
Strings are quite sharp as well. i was just at an Opera last night in Zurich Opernhaus (Donnizetti's Anna Boleyn...3 1/2 hours!) and strings sound nothing like this live...even sitting pretty close. Don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but have to call it like I hear it. What kind of phone are you recording with? Can you get a high quality video recorder and try it out? I have found that there are settings on the Iphone that can improve the sound of the recordings (I use HD-60 mode on my old Iphone 7).
It also sounds like the room you are in is very live...is that a correct assessment?
