Takacs Quartet - DVORAK: String Quartet Op.105, String Quintet Op.97

A new release from the Takács Quartet is guaranteed to be a highlight of the musical year, and this one easily exceeds all expectations. The 'American' quintet dates from Dvorák's sojourn in the New World, the quartet from his return to old-world Prague. Both are marvelous works, sounding here every bit the masterpieces they undoubtedly are.
