I would definately leave classical off of that list. Current digital recording technologies do not have large enough sampling rates to enable the full range of frequency harmonics to make it onto the recordings. I'm talking frequencies we can't hear with our ears, however these harmonics do effect the frequencies in the human hearing range. CD's and other digital media are not able as of yet to produce this quality that analog systems can. Sony are coming close with their newer digital recording formats with a 2.4 ghz sampling rate, however this is incredibly expensinve and hardly any studios have taken it up.
