It would be an interesting exercise for interested members of this
liszt to put down their favorite classical music of the last twenty years.
I think that describing them as "masterpieces" is perhaps not needed at
this point.  "Excellent" or "interesting" will do fine.  Much as I love
comtemporary music I don't think that this is at all an easy bet, if for
no other reason than that we have some perspective about and familiarity
with the century old stuff.

A s for the second statement the authorities don't agree among themselves
- so  we need to make up our own minds.  The Mathew Barney exhibit at
the Guggenheim Museum was either rich wiith meaning- the work of a major
artist.  or it was complete nonsense.  You could find cognescenti to
argue on both sides- like expert witnesses at a trial.
