Takács 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).
