Spanish term or phrase: contrastado (see sentence below)
...porque no basta la labor individual, incluso en el caso de contrastados virtuosos juveniles, para se que forme la conciencia de un músico: es imprescidible que ese grup de solistas se funda en una tarea colectiva.
I don't get the meaning of "contrastado" here.

English translation:outstanding, prominent
Explanation:
It reads quite strange in Spanish (there are many typos in the text also), but I think it means "destacados" (outstanding, prominent) in this context.

Good luck!

Explanation:
Contrastar hechos can mean to confirm facts. In this case case I think it works - confirmed musicians, ie musicians whose skill has been proven and isn´t in doubt. A possibility derived from this could be to say "undoubted".
