New Vs Old Classical Sound

As I sit here late at night listening to different great works I have come to realize something. I like the "Old and vintage" clarinet sound over what's generally sought after today. Hearing recordings dating all the way back to WWII has given me a respect and desire for that old kind of classical clarinet tone, opposed to say Ricardo Morales (Not saying one is better than the other, just that I'm beginning to find the sweetness in both). I've spent so much time on chasing a modern tone that I think I may have forgotten the simple things that older generations of musicians strived for. I've seen it said before and I think I agree with it, most older clarinetists seem to have been more concerned with phrasing and expression than say just their tone... That's a new concept for me. What are your thoughts/opinions and experiences?
