Programme:\nMozart - String Quartet in B flat K589\nDvorak - String Quartet in E flat Op 51\nDohnanyi - Piano Quintet No 2 \nDazzling dexterity, bristling power; poise and elegance: the Takács Quartet delivers vivid, compelling performances full of potent emotion.\nIn the second of their two complementary International Festival recitals, they indulge in the rich Bohemian colours of Dvo?ak’s E flat Quartet, Op 51 – often named the ‘Slavonic’ for its whirling rhythms and its gutsy folk spirit.\nAlongside the enigmatic beauty and wit of Mozart’s songful B flat Quartet, K589, the Takács players are joined by eminent Canadian pianist – and long-term collaborator – Marc-André Hamelin in Dohnányi’s Second Piano Quintet. Inspired by Brahms and Schumann, this is urgent, volatile music of immense emotional concentration.
