| Takács Quartet | |
| Marc-André Hamelin | Piano |
A chance to hear the only string quartet to be inducted intoGramophone magazine's 2012 Hall of Fame.
The Takács returns to Southbank Centre with a concert of French masterworks. They share the stage with Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin, whom the New York Times described as producing 'prodigies of sound seemingly without effort'.
Opening with Debussy's sumptuous String Quartet, the concert climaxes in Franck's rarely-heard Piano Quintet, an impassioned score inspired by his infatuation with the young woman Augusta Holmès, his favourite piano pupil.
