About Gábor Takács-Nagy
Artist Biography
Gabor Takács-Nagy has had a major impact on musical life in his native Hungary and in other countries as a violinist, conductor, and educator. For much of the first part of his career, he was a noted chamber music player. Takács-Nagy co-founded the Takács Quartet in 1976, and the group became a major international presence. He left the group in 1992, suffering from hand problems, but was able to resume playing after therapy and founded the Takács Piano Trio in 1996 and the Mikrokosmos String Quartet in 1998. After becoming concertmaster of the Budapest Festival Orchestra in 1998, Takács-Nagy developed an interest in conducting. His discography has continued to grow as he led the CHAARTS Chamber Artists in 2019, backing violinist Sebastian Bohren on an album of Mozart violin concertos, and in 2022, he and the Manchester Camerata accompanied pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet in a recording of Mozart piano concertos.
