"One wonders incredulously: how could such a young man succeed in founding such an outstanding orchestra that exceeds all expectations?"

Dr. Lorenz Kerscher, Klassik begeistert

"That a young conductor is again moving away from original sound and score positivism toward romanticizing German sound is extremely refreshing. The result is not dusty. Rather, Haberstock shows the courage to interpret that many have unfortunately lost in the increasingly academicized music-making. The future does not lie in turning away from the old, but in preserving and continuing our tradition."

Willi Patzelt, Klassik begeistert

"With this broad sound, he is completely out of step with the times. Hardly anyone dares to do that today. The effect: impressive, extraordinary."

Jürgen Pathy, Klassik begeistert
