New to the label, the Slovenian Philharmonic of Lubljana and Emmanuel Villaume have done a superb job at a very difficult task, offering us an admirably structured rendering.

In the press
The Baltimore Sun, Tim Smith
Emmanuel Villaume, whose appreciation for the inner beauty of the opera and ability to coax refined playing from the orchestra was a notable plus all evening.
Washington City Paper, Mike Paarlberg
And the orchestra, led by Emmanuel Villaume and featuring the woodwinds, gives lush treatment to Jules Massenet’s beautiful score.
DC Metro Theatre Arts, Teal Ruland
Maestro Emmanuel Villaume leads the audience on an adventure of Massenet’s strength for describing the troubles of the human heart. Under Villaume’s baton, the orchestra flourishes in the darker phrases and grasps the quainter themes that suggest everyday French conversation in the countryside.
backtrack, Raisa Massuda
Massenet’s rich, melodious music was performed with precision, dramatic tension and passion by the WNO orchestra under the baton of Emmanuel Villaume.
DC Theatre Scene, Susan Galbraith
It is beautifully supported by the strong dynamics of the orchestra under the baton of Emmanuel Villaume...and Villaume’s stirring musical leadership.
Edge Washington DC, Rachel Breitman
Conductor Emmanuel Villaume built some tension in the scenes of Werther’s mounting despair, by creating a steady musical beat with strong high notes that gives the play a haunting tone.
