‘I’ve never had so much fun at a classical concert. It was amazing!’ (Audience member after BPSQ’s Cambridge appearance in 2014)
BERLIN PHILHARMONIC STRING QUINTET
Luiz Felipe Coelho, Romano Tommasini violins
Wolfgang Talirz viola
David Riniker cello
Janusz Widzyk double bass
The Berlin Philharmonic is the best orchestra in the world. Famously, it is an orchestra of soloists who blend perfectly – qualities that are distilled in the String Quintet. Whether it’s Mozart or the tango-inspired music of Piazzolla, the Quintet perform with jaw-dropping virtuosity and their trademark ‘Rolls Royce’ string sound, purring one moment and powerful the next.
Look out for the breath-taking showpieces for violin (Saint-Saëns) and double bass (Bottesini). You won’t hear double bass playing like this again: lyrical like a cello and as virtuosic as a violin.
Above all, their playing puts a smile on your face.
