Classical recordings tend not to suffer as much from introduced "dynamic compression", like so many pop music recordings do.
Pop music recordings have to sound intelligible in casual meeting places. That typically means noisy environments like cars, supermarkets, etc... Good classical recordings are almost never very suitable for playback in noisy environments like cars but instead lend themselves to "serious listening" - and that typically means playback in relatively quiet environments like audiophile listening rooms.
One of the major things that keeps some of us from ditching our two-channel systems for technically superior multi-channel systems is the lack of good multi-channel recordings outside of the classical music spectrum. Unless you like classical music above all other types, a multi-channel system probably isn't worth the extra money, space, and effort required to set one up.
