"Lehmann, a conductor of punctilious attention to detail and structure, dared to drop passages of sustained pianissimo into those wide open spaces and the music resounded as clearly as any fanfare." - Bachtrack
"Lehmann’s unabashed embrace of old-school concert conventions meant that La Damnation by and large returned to the status of a pageant of luminous vocal, choral and orchestral set-pieces" - The Arts Desk
"Lehmann seemed to relish the ability of the orchestra to be quiet, to produce a web of sound. The Dance of the Sylphs was one such moment, where the ravishing orchestral textures made you forget that the movement feels dramatically redundant! There were strong solos too, notably the viola in 'Autrefois, un roi de Thulé' and the cor anglais in 'D'amour l'ardente flamme'. In fact, there was so much orchestral detail that Lehmann and his players held you spellbound." - Planet Hugill
"[Les Sieclés] were conducted by Jakob Lehmann and the performance he helmed was intricate and mostly compelling... Brighter textures built by Lehmann pushed the inner orchestra voices forward."- The Times
"As the evening progressed the young conductor Jakob Lehmann increasingly impressed with his gentle but comprehensive control, notable grasp of the score and his movement which had nothing superfluous or showy but was elegant in its natural simplicity." - Jangeld and Tetchy
