Philharmonia Quartett Berlin
Boston Debut
Friday, January 28, 2011, 8pm, NEC’s Jordan Hall
Philharmonia Quartett Berlin, made up of the principal concertmaster and string section leaders of the great Berlin Philharmonic, boasts an enviable pedigree. This ensemble has truly earned its adulation over its 26-year existence with its seamless blend, balance, unity, and elegance. Philharmonia Quartett Berlin is among the most evolved of quartets.
“They might all be the same player, considering the uniformity of their techniques. Their tones are mellow, never forced, their bowing showing a preference for the soft attack, of starting the note not with a pop or a bite, but out of nothingness, perfectly formed.”
—The Orange County Register
