Review of pianist
Not feeling inspired today! Not sure of the meaning of 'salió' here. Help would be appreciated.
Nueva generación de clásicos
Se les conoce como la quinta del 85. Son solistas españoles, músicos brillantes con gran porvenir. Una hornada que "salió del esplendor". Ahora, afrontan con paso firme y herramientas propias la crisis y atesoran éxito internacional.

Selected
This group of talented musicians burst onto the scene and made an immediate impact.
The intended sense here seems to be that the emergence of this group of talented musicians had an electrifying effect on the contemporary classical music scene in Spain.
I don't see where anything resembling a literal translation works here.
Suerte.

The other point, following on from that, is that I wonder if it might allude to the brilliance of the older Spanish pianists who paved the way for members of the generation of 85: Alicia de Larrocha herself, also Joaquín Achúcarro, and (the greatest of them all, in my opinion) Rafael Orozco.
