“Under his baton the orchestra’s playing was highly textured, dynamically varied and highly flexible in terms of phrasing.”

(Operaplus, November 2016)

“The understanding between Altstaedt and the Deutschen Symphonie-Orchester Berlin under Michal Nesterowicz works brilliantly. … Under Nesterowicz, the Berlin orchestra brings out subtle differences between seemingly similar composers.”

(Werner Teurich, Spiegel, April 2016)

“Lutoslawski’s Concerto for Orchestra (…) made for a thrilling listen, in a performance that showed Nesterowicz’ command of the score”

(George Hall, Guardian, April 2015)
