The Philharmonia Quartet Berlin is a string quartet founded in 1985 by members of the Berlin Philharmonic.[1]
Among the long-standing members were principal players of the orchestra,
violist Neithard Resa, and cellist Jan Diesselhorst.[2][3] When the latter died unexpectedly in 2009,[2] the cello part was taken over by Dietmar Schwalke the same year.[1][4]
The Philharmonia Quartet has given concerts worldwide, including
They recorded Hindemith's String Quartet No. 5, Op. 32, in 1995.Op. 109.[7][8] They recorded all the Beethoven string quartets over years, combined in 2015 when they celebrated their 30th anniversary.[9][10] On the same occasion, a recording of all the quartets by Johannes Brahms was released. The players, knowing the composers' symphonic works well, have a special approach to the symphonic features in their string quartets.[9]
After the death of second violin Christian Stadelmann in 2019, the status of the ensemble remains unclear.[11][12]
