Summary, the series, is an attempt to reverse the wunderkind principle. Instead of pandering to the musical world along the lines of "faster, higher, further" by serving up younger and younger artists each year, here we ask the question: "As an artist grows in years and maturity, how does his or her view of musical works alter? Do some criteria become less important which maybe were taken too seriously in earlier years? Have new ones come along?" Volume 1: The Bartok Quartet founded in 1957!
