The Hungarian Takács Quartet, one of the
world’s consummate interpreters of Bartók’s
string quartets, brings the entire cycle to Stanford
in two very special evenings arranged to give a
sense of the enormity of Bartók musical journey.
The romanticism of the First Quartet gives
way to the modernist tendencies of the Third,
and finally the Sixth Quartet reveals Bartók’s
unprecedented degree of emotional depth, sense
of resignation, and even withdrawal from the
world. Lauded by critics and audiences alike for
its irresistible blend of virtuosic technique and
engaging personality, The Takács performs these
monuments of the 20th-century quartet literature
with a sense of adventure and joyful abandon.
