It is certainly stereo on my equipment, but the Jupiter is not a very
suitable piece of music to demonstrate stereo. A piece with more solos
and a variety of percussion would be more obvious.

Maybe the download also loses by being an MP3 - a nasty format at best.

The other stereo material on the CD is the "Walking and Talking" tests.
