Monday May 15 2:56 PM ET Dylan, Stern Awarded Sweden's Top Music Prize dailynews.yahoo.com STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - U.S. singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and Russian-American violinist Isaac Stern collected the Nordic region's biggest music prize Monday in Sweden's capital, Swedish radio reported. King Carl XVI Gustaf conferred the ninth annual Polar Music Prize, including a purse of one million Swedish crowns ($110,400) each, on the two artists at a Stockholm concert hall. The prize went to Stern for his ``consummate artistry distinguished by a personal musicianship without compare'' and ''his uncompromising attitude concerning the humanistic power of music,'' the award citation said. The Royal Swedish Academy of Music awarded the honor to Dylan for his ``indisputable influence'' on the development of 20th century music over almost four decades. ``He has demonstrated an impressive ability to question the most determined political forces, to fight all forms of prejudice, and to offer unflinching support for the less fortunate,'' the academy said. Previous winners include Paul McCartney, Elton John, Mstislav Rostropovitch, Ravi Shankar, Dizzy Gillespie, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder.
