Well, I don't know a lot of people who think classical music performers of yesterday are generally superior to performers of today. As in all arts, with the passage of time only the best and most remarkable few from the past are remembered. The many ordinary ones are pretty much forgotten. Some have particular favorites who remain their favorites even long after they have passed away. But that doesn't mean being old is magically better.
True, there are those annoying people who insist that the only performance worth having of something is some unobtainable obscure historic recording that was released on CD only in Europe and/or Japan. One of those guys posted here for a long time. But they don't count.
I've argued that recording, radio and TV have all had a profound effect on music (and our culture generally), and that you can see (or hear) that in the way classical music is performed, and those changes are not always for the better. But it's a long way from that to saying the old artists are generally superior. In any age, many are mediocre, few are great.
