^ I'd tend to agree with Mattias. The original sounds are half of the identity of the original music, much as someone composing for a clarinet or trombone in Mozart's time would be shocked if not upset to hear them played on modern equivalents. However, I do see some new users may wish to have a modern option available.
I did listen to some of the demos, as well as pick my way through the soundfont in Viena. The sounds appear to be pulled from a mix pre-SSO .sf2's predominantly, although a few things sound a lot like VPO/VSCO (the harp for one). I definitely recognize the horn ensemble and flute samples from my soundfont days, and the percussion seems to be from SoundCanvas, or at least they seem to match the sounds on my Boss (Roland) DS-330.
What does bug me is that they didn't attribute any sources, which bothers me even more since a few of the samples are a little too good to not be known freeware. The violin and some other strings for example sounds suspiciously like the one I remember from EWQL SO...
