Takács Quartet
Julien Labro, bandoneon
Edward Dusinberre, violin
Harumi Rhodes, violin
Richard O'Neill, viola
András Fejér, cello
One of the world's most prodigious and popular quartets, the Takács Quartet has thrilled audiences with its vitality and energy for more than four decades. "The quartet members, individually, in pairs or joyfully together, bring a perfect balance of individual understanding and ensemble cohesion," according to Bachtrack. "Fleet-fingered accordionist" (Detroit Free Press) Julien Labro makes a delightfully welcome return to SF Performances.
PROGRAM
New works by BRYCE DESSNER and CLARICE ASSAD and other works
~~~~~~~~
One of the world's most venerated ensembles, the Takacs Quartet returns to San Francisco Performances to perform a program including fellow Hungarian Ernest von Dohnanyi, whose lush, neoromantic style was influenced by Bartok and rich folk traditions.
The New York Times lauded the ensemble for "revealing the familiar as unfamiliar, making the most traditional of works feel radical once more", and the Financial Times described a recent concert at the Wigmore Hall: "Even in the most fiendish repertoire these players show no fear, injecting the music with a heady sense of freedom. At the same time, though, there is an uncompromising attention to detail: neither a note nor a bow-hair is out of place."
