• New Store Stock

Product Description A new release from the Takacs Quartet is guaranteed to be a highlight of the musical year, and this one easily exceeds all expectations. The ‘American’ quintet dates from Dvorak’s sojourn in the New World, the quartet from his return to old-world Prague; both are marvellous works, sounding here every bit the masterpieces they undoubtedly are. Review The Takacs play the too rarely heard A flat quartet, Dvorak's later masterwork of the genre, done con amore and empathy . This life-enhancing music is a tonic in both quartets hands. --The Times, October'17
