Following the success of last season's complete Bartók cycle, the
incomparable Takács offers a program that highlights its deep
ensemble rapport. The selections explore the expressive extremes of
the string quartet, from the extroverted brilliance of Haydn's Op. 64
quartet, to Debussy's sensuous and impressionistic lone work for
quartet. For César Franck's effusive, harmonically restless Piano
Quintet, the quartet is joined by longtime collaborator, pianist
Marc-André Hamelin, with whom it previously recorded Schumann's
quintet to great acclaim.
