Why does acoustic music in person sound different to acoustic music through a speaker?

I walked into a building and I could hear a piano way in the distance. Even in the distance I could tell it was a live piano and not just a recording being played through speakers?

Why is this distinguishable?

Recording acoustic instruments well is very difficult. There are always some losses and distortions in both the recording and the reproduction which mean that the recorded sound is not identical to the original.
