This is absurd. The idea that these artists don't understand something that you the layman understands about musical structure is simply laughable.
It's one thing not to like an artist or an interpretation. But these kinds of assertions are ridiculous. Yeah these young artists study diligently under great teachers and no one ever bothers to tell them about musical structure and of course none of them ever listen to any recordings from the past. They are all just tooooo busy working on their stellar technique.
