about
The Talich Quartet has been evolving as part of a prestigious line of Czech musicians for nearly forty years. “Talich.” The name evokes the banks of the Vltava, the beloved river of Smetana and residents of Prague. Jan Talich Sr., who founded the Quartet, was the nephew of Vaclav Talich, conductor of the Czech Philharmonic in Prague from 1919 to 1939. He brought the formation to their highest level before Karel Ančerl stepped in to pursue this carefully cultivated group. Since 1997, Jan Talich Jr., the family’s most recent musician, took over the reins of the Quartet from his father and surrounded himself with talented musicians. The future is now theirs, a future that it is based on tradition. In forty years, the Talich family has developed a style, a sound, an approach and a musical philosophy that is perpetuated and enriched by new members. They have been able to maintain both a light tone and dense meaning, a spontaneous expression as well as a highly charged musical past, unexpected accents with great tradition, and an innate sense of popular references combined with a culture transmitted from generation to generation, the signature of their elders.
