The problem with video playback of classical music is what I call "visual listening spot movement".
The video "moves around" to pickup the "action" of players and conductor during the performance.
"Audio only" playback is from a fixed position in the concert hall and does not move during the performance. This is closer to the concert hall listening experience IMO.
Opera is much better in video, as the "action" is followed around.
PBS does a good job on video classical playback. The Berlin Philharmonic "digital concert hall" internet streaming videos sometimes dives me crazy with camera movement. To each their own.
Check out Amazon for DVD selections.
