The Takács QuartetBack in July, we at Presto (like much of the classical world) were excited to hear the news that the British label Hyperion had last entered the streaming world. Two hundred of the most critically-hailed recordings appeared on streaming services at the time, and the remainder - about two thousand all told - have been collected into ‘chapters’, each with a theme reflecting one particular aspect of Hyperion’s incredible musical vision, to be released fortnightly.

The latest chapter, ‘String Quartets’, contains the recordings of a number of acclaimed string quartets such as the London Haydn Quartet, Takács Quartet and Delmé Quartet - with guests for quintet repertoire including Piers Lane and Marc-André Hamelin - plus the recordings of violist Lawrence Power for good measure.
