“The Takács might play this repertoire better than any other quartet in the past or present”, an American critic wrote of the group’s performances of the Beethoven quartets. This full-length all-Beethoven programme consists of the warmly melodic but intricately worked first quartet from the early Op 18 set, the isolated middle-period Op 74, nicknamed Harp because of its passages of collective pizzicato, and from among the late quartets the sublime and searching Op 131 in C sharp minor.
