The Takács Quartet is in Europe during the summer months for the first time in 10 years, and what a happy event it is! Their tour starts in the French Alps at the Prieuré de Chirens and the Festival Musique & Nature en Bauges, continues on the Côte d'Azur at the Festival de Musique de Menton before flying off to Germany for the Rheingau Musik Festival and Scotland for the Edinburgh Festival. There is then a "pause" for a recording of Dohnanyi's piano quintets and a string quartet with Marc-André Hamelin for Hyperion Records, before the Aldeburgh Snape Proms and a Grand Finale at the Festival de La Chaise-Dieu.
