Chances of something as long and complex as an orchestral work sounding
the
same = 0.
Even short solo pieces are easy to ABX from performance to performance.

Depends on how you define the origional. If you define the original as
being the electrical signal going into the recorder than the possibilities
of "sounds the same" are good. However the action of microphones and
mixing
are easy to pick out in a close listening test.
