The white book standard max for a CD is 76 minutes. If you push it over
that there's a good chance that a lot of players won't be able to play it.
Not to say it's impossible mind, I have classical CD's that clock in at 77
and 78 minutes. But the target audience of Classical music are expected to
have payed lots on their players, and most have.
I have an Arcam alpha 5 CD player, bloody incredible sound it has, and it
can handle 78 minutes. I used to have a Philips thing and it couldn't cope
if the CD ran over 70 minutes.
