On Amadigi:
"Minkowski’s electrifying performance is one of his sharpest, dominated vocally by the magnificent young French contralto of Nathalie Stutzmann in the title role. She sings Amadigi’s gentle arias most affectingly… with the brilliant arias for Prince Dardano superbly sung by Bernarda Fink. It is a performance on an intimate scale, and the more involving for that." - Penguin Guide ***
On Teseo:
"Minkowski, among the liveliest of period-performance specialists, brings out the inventiveness, helped by an excellent cast… these include Della Jones as Medea, Eirian James in the castrato role of Teseo, Julia Gooding as Agilea and characterful counter-tenors Derek Lee Ragin and Jeffrey Gall as Egeo and Arcane" - Penguin Guide ***
