The musical sensibilities of some modern classical music composers seemed so wonderfully different from the older strains that, at first, I couldn't own enough "20th century classical" recordings. But gradually the feeling of awe subsided and morphed into disinterest.It's not that a lot of that stuff isn't obviously very good or even great at being what it is. It's just that I now think that "what it is" all too often has more to do with mindful musical experimentation, and while this kind of thing might at first can seem supremely "creative", "adventurous", etc.., it eventually seems sort of "empty", and maybe even "cowardly" too.
Anyway, I still own hundreds of recordings featuring the music of modern musical masters but I can't seem to make myself give most of them a second or third listen, the way I might with more traditional classical music recordings that have better withstood the test of time. I'm hanging on to these modern recordings for now in the hopes that my feelings will eventually change, once again. But so much of that music seems intellectually robust while lacking in feeling. * Therein* is the problem, for me.
