| "Das Podium vibriert von musikalisch selten derart eindringlich ausgesprochenen, unsäglichen Leidenschaften: von Sehnsucht, Empörung, Selbsthass, Jubel, Denütigung und Begierde." [Janácek] |

| "With the Takács Quartet on their current form, when only superlatives seem to do, there is a risk of indulging in hyperbole. But the fact is : they are peerless...The combination of glowing tone-colours and impeccable technical control is in itself captivating, but it is the compelling immediacy of the Takács's playing that engages one in every moment." |

"The most impressive playing came in the performance of Janacek's Second Quartet (Intimate Letters), a late work by the composer with a searing intensity and emotion throughout the four movements. In the hands of lesser groups, Janacek's ideas might seem fragmented and unrelated, but under the fingers of the Takács Quartet, everything was clear, convincing, the utterly logical - a performance of stunning power and persuasiveness."
