Experience Talich Quartet

The Talich Quartet, formed in Prague in 1993, is internationally renowned for its insightful and emotionally resonant interpretations of string quartets. Comprising Jan Talich (violin I), Jan Kopřiva (violin II), Vladimír Bárta (viola), and Petr Kovář (cello), the quartet rapidly gained prominence after winning first prize at the International Chamber Music Competition in Osaka in 1995.

Their repertoire spans from Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven through to Dvořák, Bartók, and contemporary composers like Schulhoff and Pärt. The quartet is particularly celebrated for its deeply researched performances of Czech chamber music, showcasing a profound connection to their national heritage. They’ve been lauded for their tonal beauty, precise ensemble playing, and a uniquely communicative approach – avoiding stylistic affectation in favour of musical honesty.

The Talich Quartet frequently performs on major international stages and records for the Deutsche Grammophon label. They are regular guests at prestigious festivals including Salzburg, Schleswig-Holstein, and Lucerne. Their recordings have consistently received critical acclaim, earning them multiple awards including a Gramophone Award nomination and Diapason d'Or de l'année.
