it remains a mystery why almost every performing musician from the early 20th century played with such musicality, understanding, imagination, personality, artistry and marvellous taste, and today, almost nothing is left of this tradition. why? everyone plays all the notes correctly but forgets to listen to himself, to use his imagination. and then, there are these horrible pianos of today...

I'd guess it's because now everyone can become an artist - with no previous musical knowledge.
Don't get me wrong though, there are still many talented musicians today, but you wont find them on the summer pop playlist on Spotify.

I am not sure how they do it, but over the last decades, many Steinways have started more and more to sound like Yamahas. Glorified Cling-Clang boxes basically.
What is really depressing is that as a result a whole generation of players has now come into existence who do not know any better, who have no idea what you are talking about if you try to discuss with them the greater sound of the pianos of the past. They honestly think that that cold sound is the norm; the best there is; how it "should" sound.
