Werner Janssen was an American conductor and composer, active in concert music, film and recordings during the mid-twentieth century.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in American and arranged repertory, including the Genesis Suite and Lucien Cailliet orchestral programmes.

Janssen’s conducting sat at a lively junction between concert hall, studio, Hollywood and American modern music.

His page is justified by repeated catalogue presence and historical context. Janssen gives the American orchestral shelf a West Coast baton with cinema light at the edge.
