Marc Minkowski has carved out a niche for himself and his Les Musiciens du Louvre in the lesser-known works of the French and Italian Baroque. He has garnered considerable critical acclaim and brought works of relative obscurity to the attention of wider audiences. Minkowski has also been in the forefront of applying historical performance practice to Classical and Romantic repertory. His biggest successes have come in the realm of dramatic music, where his revivals of works by Gluck, Lully, Purcell, and Handel have drawn attention to his text-oriented dramatic sense. Minkowski's recorded repertoire in the 21st century, befitting his multiple talents, has been spread across a number of music labels. ~ Rovi Staff
