In a captivating interview for KGNU, violist Richard O'Neill, cellist András Fejér of the renowned Takács Quartet, and celebrated pianist Marc-André Hamelin discuss their collaboration on the new Dvořák and Price Piano Quintets album, released on the Hyperion label. The ensemble reflects on the meaningful pairing of Dvořák’s beloved Piano Quintet No. 2 with Florence Price’s rediscovered Piano Quintet in A minor, noting shared influences from African-American musical traditions. They describe the challenges of interpreting Price’s little-performed work, especially in addressing notational inconsistencies. Recorded in the resonant and secluded Wyastone Concert Hall near the Welsh border, the project highlights their deep artistic rapport, technical precision, and the unique intimacy of chamber music. As the Takács Quartet celebrates its 50th anniversary, the musicians express gratitude for their evolving legacy, their connection to the Boulder community, and the enduring joy of making music with trusted collaborators.
