When I was in school, 35 years ago, one of the professors told the class that he thought that the edited perfection of the recordings made at that time (i.e., with razor blades) was going to breed generations of neurotic musicians, who, just as you say, would be focused on not making any mistakes, to the exclusion of any other interpretive values.
Actually, I don't think it's quite that bad, especially, as you suggest, in Europe. As I posted a couple of months ago, we saw the LSO play the Strauss Duet Concertino at the Barbican, and the couple of minor squeaks from Andrew Marriner's clarinet probably resulted from his willingness to take chances. But you know those squeaks would never make it on to an LSO Live recording. :-)
