PHILHARMONIC STRING QUINTET BERLIN (PSB)
The Berlin Philharmonic in Concentrated Form

"With their passionate, dynamically differentiated playing, the strings present themselves with an exuberant joy of music-making."
— AACHENER ZEITUNG, Aachen, Germany 2008

"(..) tasteful, radiant, the interpretation of the Berliners is simply beautiful."
— DOLOMITEN, Bozen, Italy, 2007

NEW CD: A. Dvořák - String Quintet in G, Op. 77:     1. Allegro con fuoco 2:50     3. Poco andante 2:32     4. Finale 3:25

The Philharmonic String Quintet Berlin (PSB) is unique in its instrumentation: instead of enlarging the string quartet with an additional viola or cello, the ensemble is completed by adding a double bass. Here, all five string sections of the orchestra are represented. The ensemble thereby crosses the boundaries of a purely chamber music setting towards a formation with symphonic dimensions: “Based on our experience, the compositions gain tremendously in breadth of sound.”
The Philharmonic String Quintet Berlin emerged from the longstanding collaboration between Wolfgang Talirz and Romano Tommasini with the cellist Tatjana Vassiljeva. Their first concert was given in February 2007 in Belgium. With great success! Within a relatively short period of time it advanced to a popular ensemble, meanwhile guesting in the whole of Europe and Japan.
