Musical tapestries are dynamic—they grow and evolve, as chronicled by Edward Dusinberre, the quartet's first violinist, in his award-winning book Beethoven for a Later Age: The Journey of a String Quartet. The Washington Post offered high praise: "...evoking along the way more of the human condition than it seems possible for a single life to contain, the Takács brought us with them on this extraordinary musical journey."
Students at the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest formed the Takács Quartet in 1975, and soon won prizes at major European competitions. Awards have since included the Wigmore Hall Medal, induction into Gramophone's first Hall of Fame, a Grammy, and the Order of Merit of the Knight's Cross of the Republic of Hungary.
