Talk:Takács Quartet

Karoly Schranz born in Budapest, Hungary to Katalin Kovacs and Karoly Schranz Sr, in 1952. Began studying the violin at the age of four and later continued at the prestigious Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music where he studied with Mihaly Szucs, second violinist or the Tatrai Quartet. Schranz attended the Academy with other world-renown musicians such as Zoltan Kocsis, Gabor Takacs-Nagy, Miklos Perenyi, Andras Schiff, Jeno Jando, Kalman Berkes, Gabor Ormai, Andras Fejer, Annamaria Karacson (whom he later married) and many others. He is founding member of the Takacs Quartet which has been in existance since 1975 since the four soccer-playing musicians decided to get together for a little chamber music. In 1986 he immigrated to Boulder, Colorado with his lovely blonde violinist wife and three beautiful daughters, but spends almost three quarters of the year travelling and concertizing world-wide with the Takacs Quartet.

Umm I think they came to the USA in 1983? Károly is one hell of a fantastic violinist by the way!! K. Lastochka 22:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

any connection to Jenő Takács?
I notice the first violinist has Takacs in his name. Any relation? Is the quartet named after the composer or the violinst? DavidRF (talk) 03:10, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
