Takcs Quartet

Finished
Bookings & Enquiries:
This event has now passed


The Takcs Quartets connection with Musica Viva now spans threedecades, with each tour garnering more acclaim than the one before. As our audiences have long suspected, this tour finds them hailed at last as the greatest string quartet in the world.The Quartets programs have as their centrepieces two preeminent works of the repertoire. Schuberts majestic fifteenth quartet is joined by Janceks Intimate Letters (which circles obsessively around the composers unhealthy passion for his young, erstwhile mistress) and Richard Mills tautly constructed romantic fantasies. In the second program, Beethovens third Razumovsky Quartet is balanced by the Classical elegance of late Haydn and a new work by acclaimed Scottish composer James McMillan, commissioned for the Takcs Quartet.
