Overview
The Friends of Chamber Music present the Takács Quartet, just past their 50th anniversary season and tagged by BBC Music Magazine as one of the greatest string quartets of the past 100 years. The ensemble, now with a new cellist, returns to Vancouver with a programme featuring Mendelssohn's String Quartet No. 6, Gabriela Lena Frank's "Quijotadas," and Schubert's "Death and the Maiden." Celebrated for their classic Hungarian tradition of string playing — rhythmically dynamic and full-toned — many of their recordings have reached legendary status.
