Stanley Sperber

in a letter to the composer
Peter Huebner:


“It was great pleasure to meet with you and to have the opportunity to speak together as well as listen to excerpts from your symphonies.

The music intrigued me, especially your unique manner of combining orchestral and vocal forces into one organic entity.

As Music Director of the Haifa Symphony Orchestra as well as the National Choir of Israel – Rinat – I would like to express my interest in
the possibility of performing and recording one of your three symphonies with the above mentioned orchestra and choir.

My heartiest congratulations on your formidable musical accomplishments.”
