You make a good point about expanding horizons, but on the practical

Actually, I wonder about the convention of releasing two such works
on one album, rather than only one!  In the days of streaming/download,
there's not really a "value" equation around a CD-length program.  So
the convention of hour-long programs may have no real meaning.  Why
not put out e.g. Brahms Quintets one at a time?
