Music being always a child of its time needs to connect to the average people in order to be popular. The "classical" orchestra (if there is even such a thing) was the instrument of its day, nowadays the instruments changed. Music split into a gazillion genres ranging from gabber to black metal, from jazz to hiphop and so on... All of which have their audience. I would assume the average christian zealot of the renaissance just connects to Bach and his strict and highly religious music. So while Bach made stupidly awesome music the people of today are just not living in the renaissance anymore. The world being much more diverse and culturally fragmented is represented in the music as well and the "classical" music is just a fragment like everything else. Nobody cares about the snobbish critic and their idiotic views, lots of art derided by critics became a classic and a lot they praised got forgotten. As someone who grew up with techno i could listen to Venetian Snares or Aphex Twin all day but i think the likes of Stockhausen are just annoying and dull.
