In my experience, younger musicians and artists in general-- yes, here comes a sweeping geralization:)-- haven't lived long enough to have experienced the depths of emotion at the heart of many or most masterworks. They may have great technique, but what does a 20 year old know about love, pain, grief.. Not to mention awe, wonder and ecstasy? Expression of feeling is what I'm after and that come from having lived and having lived with great works of art, and even minor ones.
My two cents, plain.

It's not one I hold to myself, bur I certainly can't say you're wrong. A lot of it depends on the repertoire of course. I mean, how much love, pain, grief, awe, wonder and ecstasy is one going to find in the first movement of Beethoven's Op. 2 No. 3? To me, this movement is more about Beethoven telling the world, "Hey - look over here! This is what I can do!". ;-)
Fair enough. I don't hold to it either, but it's been my experience by and large. And I've heard many very fine performances by locals, too... the vast majority have been mature artists.
