Takacs Quartet
In recognition of its 50th anniversary, the world-renowned Takács Quartet was recently the subject of an in-depth profile by The New York Times and featured on the cover of Strad magazine. The Takács released two anniversary season albums in 2025 for Hyperion Records to glowing reviews. “Flow” by Ngwenyama, composed for the ensemble, was followed by an album of piano quintets by Dvořák and Price with Marc André Hamelin. In August 2025 for Musica Viva in Australia, the ensemble plays a new work “Sonnet of an Emigrant” for quartet and narrator by Cathy Milliken with texts by Bertolt Brecht.
