Inherently, no. Though remember that when you're talking about classical music in 2007, you're generally talking about the best of the best, and not all the rotten stuff (q.v. Sturgeon's Law) that wasn't good enough to survive. For a fair comparison, you'd have to look at ALL the music available in, say, 1785, not just Mozart, compared to, say, all the rock music available in 2007.
