The Friends of Chamber Music present Takács Quartet
Just past its 50th anniversary season, and with a new cellist, the Takács Quartet, our perennial favourites in concert, returns to Vancouver. Tagged as one of the greatest string quartets of the past 100 years by BBC Music Magazine, this astounding group still brings to life the classic Hungarian tradition of string playing, rhythmically dynamic and full toned. Many of their recordings have reached legendary status.
Programme:
Mendelssohn: String Quartet No 6 in F Minor, Opus 80
Gabriela Lena Frank: “Quijotadas”
Schubert: String Quartet No 14 in D Minor, D810 “Death and the Maiden”
Described as having “effortless musicianship”, Gramophone writes they are a “true delight from start to finish”. The Busch Trio now regularly performs throughout Europe and North America.
