Takacs String Quartet

(The second "a" in Takacs should have an accent, but I can not figure out how to do that in this blog. So, pretend that it is there.)

We attended a performance at UC Berkeley yesterday. They played Haydn's String Quartet in B-flat major Op. 71, Shostakovich's String Quartet in F minor Op. 122, and Schumann's String Quartet in A Minor Op. 41. All string quartets sound good to me, but Takaccs is my favorite. They did not disappoint. The Shostakovich was partiularly moving.
