To introduce this recording of two French string quartets, the Takács Quartet asked English master-pianist Stephen Hough, who is also a composer, to write a new work. Hough came up with his String Quartet No. 1, subtitled “Les Six rencontres”—a sequence of “six encounters” with urban life (by implication Parisian). Each of these is a deft musical snapshot, ranging from the louche whimsy of “Au parc” (“In the park”) to the bustle and energy of “Au marché” (“At the market”). The Takács Quartet’s super-precise style finds them beautifully at home in Hough’s idiom, and also in the spectrum of flickering modernist sounds explored in Henri Dutilleux’s <i>Ainsi la nuit</i> (<i>Thus the night</i>). They then bring a wonderfully fresh approach to Ravel’s String Quartet—music that’s much more familiar, yet still a miracle of poised loveliness.
