Takács Quartet at Wigmore Hall
The Takacs Quartet play Haydn, Bartók and Brahms in 2018. when they were Wigmore Hall's Artists in Residence.
Haydn, Bartók 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 Bartók’s first quartet mourns an unhappy love affair.
