The Takacs Quartet records for Hyperion Records, and their releases for that label feature repertoire by Schubert, Brahms, Schumann and Britten. For their CDs on the Decca label, the Quartet has won three Gramophone Awards, a Grammy Award, three Japanese Record Academy Awards, Disc of the Year at the inaugural BBC Music Magazine Awards, and Ensemble Album of the Year at the Classical Brits.

The Takacs Quartet are Associate Artists at Wigmore Hall, and Visiting International Artists at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
