I agree with John Adams when he said “If we can put aside expectations based on older models, we may not need to hanker for the good old days at all.” It is true that now a days we tend to look for another mozart, beethoven, bach, schumman and many other composers from earlier times. It is difficult to even try to surpass this iconical figures mostly when there are so many different genres of music. But I think in our time there are already composers who like Adams said, “look remarkably promising”, to make people feel the different meanings of music.
“Over the past thirty years the pendulum has swung so far away from the ‘angry young composer’ model, that it now threates to validate a mind-set more obsessed with immediate success and notoriety than with true imagination and daring.” — Hallelujah Junction; John Adams
“having th emost ecumenical playlist doesn’t necessarily translate into being an imaginative or skilled creative artist.” — Hallelujah Junction; John Adams
