Gramophone Recording of the Month.  Marc Minkowski's partnership with the Naïve label has got off to a rousing start with this magnificent Bizet album. When faced with performances as utterly persuasive as this, it does get one hankering yet again for more first-class Bizet works than we actually have, but grateful that we do at least have these and the few others.  The whole album is a real treat. And it arrives in a quite lovely and luxurious booklet. A thing of rare beauty in every sense. --Gramophone Magazine, June 2008
