I think the problem is that anyone who's interested in the answer to that question has a different idea about what constitutes "good".
This is because there can be much more metadata associated with classical music than the standard tags were designed to easily support. Different listeners place different priority on different aspects of the metadata, both to sort and find music to play, and to view while it's playing. It may also depend on (and/or be limited by) the devices you're using to play it.
For example, most collectors of classical music are likely to have multiple performances of the same "work" (e.g. Mahler's 2nd Symphony) by different orchestras, and possibly even multiple recordings by the same orchestra but with different conductors and/or soloists. If one wants to make it easy to find a given "performance" one has to be very careful about how the metadata is stored and presented. What works for orchestral performances may not be very useful for opera, and so on -- it's all a bit of a compromise.
So opinions about how to do this "right" vary widely, which means that in general if you pick up metadata from the usual "automatic" sources, it's almost guaranteed not to suit one's own personal preferred notion of goodness. That means re-tagging it by hand, which is quite time-consuming (for example it often takes me around half an hour to properly tag a typical classical CD).
