ZEMLINSKY LIEDER IN DER NIEDERLANDE
"In ihr findet die hochsensible Musik eine grandiose Sachwalterin..."
De Gelderlander, 26.04.2008

"Ihre warme Stimme und ihr feinfühliger Vortrag passen perfekt zu Maeterlincks mysteriös geladenen Texten und Zemlinskys überreifer Klangsprache."
Algemeen Dagblad, 12.04.2008

RECITAL WITH MAHLER SONGS IN WASHINGTON DC

Hermine Haselbock presented a most moving interpretation of Gustav Mahler's compositions in a three part musical program assisted by pianist Russell Ryan at the Austrian Embassy ... Her vocal strength and beauty blossomed with the "Songs of a Traveling Journeyman" ... Her pleading quality particularly in her smooth upper register was "honeyed". Such wonderful purity of sound for such a dramatic soprano is rare. Such phrases like "...the happiness I mean can never bloom" were interpretive gems ...Ms. Haselbock returned for two encores ("Freuhlingsmorgen" and "Scheiden und Meiden") after standing ovations to present a couple of frothy lieder to leave the audience in a overtly happy mood.

CD RELEASE: DONIZETTI -ADELIA
Odetta is portrayed with sympathy and a rich mezzo by Hermine Haselboeck. Indeed she is just lovely in the opening of Act II with the women’s chorus and Adelia who also scores with elastic phrasing and melting portamento.
