Anyway, can anyone tell me what exactly this phrase means "... sentiment replaced sentimentality....." (the topic is Chopin's music with the interpretations of Rubinstein).

That would be a good thing. Sentimentality refers to the simplistic and kitschy feelings of niceness conveyed by Hallmark greeting cards and Disney Movies. Sentiment refers to strong and genuine feelings of honestly caring about something.
I've previously only seen that sentence in reverse, commenting about something's banality by saying "Sentimentality has replaced sentiment."
Have a confounded Happy Holiday!
