For years, it's been bandied about by the music cognoscenti that young

musicians have been bringing higher musicianship to schools and that elite schools have been graduating unprecedented numbers of them, now elevated to the highest technical proficiency.
In the linked NYTimes piece, by Anthony Tommasini, it is said that this has translated into an explosion of technically amazing performers who also show formidable interpreting skills. This, according to Mr. Tommasini, is a new Golden Age, unprecedented (a logical deduction from his comments) in the long history of Western music.
What say you?
Would you choose to attend performances by Richter, Rubinstein, Horowitz, Gilels, Backhaus, Serkin--- or the amazing flood of today's talent? (Remember, many of the "old" greats were acknowledged as such by the same age as these "young guns….").
