Friends of Chamber Music welcomes back the Takács Quartet—perennial favourites—for the group’s 27th concert with the organization since 1982. The matinee performance takes place at the Vancouver Playhouse on Sunday, December 8 at 3 pm.
The world-renowned Takács Quartet is entering its 50th-anniversary season this year, and has most recently received accolades for new recordings of Schubert quartets and Coleridge-Taylor with Dvorák. Growing from the classic Hungarian tradition of string playing, the ensemble is praised internationally for what Gramophone magazine describes as “powerful, brilliantly imagined interpretations” that are “shaped with flashing virtuosity”.
Audiences will be treated to a program that features Haydn’s early and astonishing String Quartet in C major, Op. 54, No. 2; Britten’s poignant String Quartet No. 2 in C major, Op. 36; and Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 16 in F major, Op. 135, his last.
