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,
concertmaster
Daniel Stabrawa , second violinist
Christian Stadelmann , the principal
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.

[4]
The Philharmonia Quartet has given concerts worldwide, including
Wigmore Hall and
Carnegie Hall ,
[4] and has made several recordings.
[3] At the Kammermusiksaal of the
Berliner Philharmonie , the ensemble performed complete cycles of the string quartets by
Beethoven and
Shostakovich .
[4] The quartet's repertoire covers more than one hundred works from classical music to
contemporary music . The string quartet also plays rarely performed compositions of the genre, such as the first string quartet by
Erwin Schulhoff , the second string quartet by
Karol Szymanowski , Hindemith's
Fourth String Quartet and
Max Reger 's String Quartet No. 3,
Op. 74 .
[3]
[5]
They recorded Hindemith's String Quartet No. 5, Op. 32, in 1995.
[6] In 2001, they recorded Reger's Clarinet Quintet,
Op. 146 , with clarinetist
Wenzel Fuchs , and his String Quartet No. 4,
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.
