The look is fresh, modern, easy to grasp: original album covers newly presented in a Polaroid-style frame, with series blurb on spine "Original Album Series". The Polaroid look is carried through in the booklet layout and forms the basis of the entire product image. Each release comes with new liner notes on the artist and recordings by expert authors and critics.

Penguin Guide, 2011 edition
What a splendid idea of Marc Minkowski's it was to create this 'imaginery' symphony, based on Rameau's theatre music. The result is a highly entertaining suite of dance movements, rather in the tradition of Beecham's Handel suites, but with somewhat more authentic orchestrations! What a distinctive and original composer Rameau was - highly recommended.

Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2005
This live recording has a frisson about it and Les Musiciens du Louvre create a sound that blends and blooms in the Théâtre de Poissy. Minkowski has chosen music that contrasts well on many levels...
