Les Musiciens du Louvre Grenoble have been working now for over 30 years on the vocal and symphonic repertories,<br />
expanding from the initial baroque repertory to span the centuries, taking in Mozart, Schubert, Berlioz and Wagner, without<br />
losing any vigour.<br />
Far from a solemn commemoration, Minkowski celebrates Haydn in a free, inventive spirit, refreshes the tempi, restores<br />
the original line-up of 60 musicians, and breathes vivacity to reveal “Haydn’s Dionysian side and also his inner garden”.<br />
Julian Sykes concludes: “The theatrical momentum produced by these interpretations […] is reminiscent of the sweeping<br />
energy of Leonard Bernstein. Minkowski does not stylise; he looks for the big picture, moves forward without the little<br />
mannerisms of the baroque...but without sacrificing detail” (Le Temps, October 2010).<br />
This 2009 Live recording in the Vienna Konzerthaus of the twelve “London” Symphonies, rewarded by a Diapason d’or, a<br />
Diapason d’or for 2010 and the German Record Critics’ award and is ranked in the Top 10 for 2010 by Belgium’s Le Soir.
