violinist Edward Dusinberre on the Beethoven Quartets: "Playing the
works is a thrilling and daunting experience. We feel like tennis
players forced out of position, obliged to draw on our physical and
mental resources to raise our game. We have rehearsed this music for
many years, but performing a Beethoven quartet still inspires an
exhilarating sense of danger" (The Guardian, London). Critic Alex Ross
on the musicians: "The Takács players have been recording the
complete Beethoven quartets, and their survey, now complete, stands as
the most richly expressive modern account of this titanic cycle" (The
New Yorker).
