		As their divergent new recordings attest, the winners of this year's Avery Fisher Prize are gifted violinists with strong ideas behind the bows.
		Special considerations are not supposed to enter into the awarding of honors as prestigious and remunerative as the Avery Fisher Prize, which carries with it a purse of $50,000.
		The prize, after all, was always intended to be an anointment rather than a boost up the ladder, a tangible sign of recognition for instrumentalists who have already, according to the award's official wording, shown "outstanding achievement and excellence in music."

	Emerson String Quartet - New York Magazine Classical Music Review
		No one actually competes or applies for the prize, which is given in recognition of excellence alone—and previous Fisher winners such as Emanuel Ax, Yo-Yo Ma, Murray Perahia, and Richard Goode are indisputably excellent musicians.
		No doubt we’ll now hear grumbling from some culture watchdogs that the Avery Fisher Prize is a typical tool of the Northeast classical-music Establishment and that the Emerson String Quartet, for all its technical polish and musical sophistication, is a pretty square outfit that keeps its hands clean and its repertory choices safe.
		The Fisher Prize, they say, would never go to such gritty, in-your-face groups as the Kronos or Ethel quartets, both mavericks that explore musical ground where no four-string players have ever trod before.

	Enchanted Evening
		Since most prestigious award-granting organizations tend to be as image-sensitive as the artists they honor (e.g., the Van Cliburn Competition), the Fisher executive committee may well have been consciously trying to broaden horizons even more this year by choosing musicians whose instruments fall into more specialized categories: double bass and clarinet.
		He is actually the second clarinetist to be honored by the Fisher folk, having been preceded by Richard Stoltzman in 1986.
		A very different sort of player than the theatrically flamboyant Stoltzman, Shifrin can always be counted on to give patrician performances of the clarinet classics, while his quiet advocacy of living composers has already resulted in several impressive new scores.
