On sonic qualities alone, one should not hesitate to buy any Channel Classics recordings. Less should one hesitate on the artistic merits of the recordings produced by Channel Classics. On both scores, this is an outstanding label, as are other European labels putting out new recordings in the SACD format.
Arkivmusic concurs with this evaluation, and offers a nearly 8 minute video excerpt.

There may be fewer classical recordings sold per issue today; that's the glass half empty perspective.
From another viewpoint, the classical catalog has never been broader, as I have posted in other comments on Stereophile. Maybe there are fewer war-horse recordings, and none more from the Soltis and Bernsteins of classical music eras past. Even then, I'm sure there are more than a few Solti and Bernstein recordings that I have yet to hear and/or purchase.
In any event, this recording underscores the near bottomless depth of the existing classical repertoire. The abundance of these recordings in the SACD format (though there is a DSD download for this recording) provides a nearly unlimited trove of outstanding performances, recorded better than ever, to stretch the performance of any hi-fi system.
I have relied on Stereophile's superb recommendations of SACD and other high quality classical recordings. Keep the recommendations coming. See the websites of BIS, Pentatone, Channel Classics, Capriccio, Berlin Classics, Linn and others for more great discoveries.
For a musical genre with limited new output, one can only marvel at what even the devoted classical music listener has yet to discover. And, even with a few hundred recordings standing as a relatively formidable output, there are no doubts in my mind that in 200 years L'Estro Armonico will be performed and listened to on whatever musical reproduction devices that may exist in that future day.
