Tak谩cs Quartet at Wigmore Hall

The Takacs Quartet play Haydn, Bart贸k and Brahms in 2018. when they were Wigmore Hall's Artists in Residence.

Haydn, Bart贸k and Brahms from London. Recorded at Wigmore Hall in November 2018, the hall's Associate Artists began their programme with the fourth of Haydn's 'Sun Quartets'. It was this collection that defined the nature of the string quartet for over a hundred years. One of Brahms's first published quartets sees him striving to model each movement on a tiny motif and Bart贸k鈥檚 first quartet mourns an unhappy love affair.
