Initially a bassoonist, Marc Minkowski began conducting at an early age, notably under the guidance of Charles Bruck at the Pierre Monteux Memorial School in the United States. At the age of nineteen he founded Les Musiciens du Louvre, an ensemble that was to play an active role in the Baroque revival. Together they explored both the French repertoire (Lully, Rameau, Mondonville, etc.) and Händel (Il trionfo del Tempo, Ariodante, Giulio Cesare, Hercules, the Roman motets, and the orchestral music), before going on to tackle Mozart, Rossini, Offenbach, Bizet, and Wagner.
