cd - Monteverdi Choir & John Eliot Gardiner
The Monteverdi Choir, founded in 1964 by Sir John Eliot Gardiner, is a British choir specializing in historically informed performances of music ranging from the Renaissance to the 20th century. In 2000, they undertook the Bach Cantata Pilgrimage, performing and recording most of Bach's church cantatas in historic churches across Europe and the USA. Their discography includes significant recordings of works such as Bach's "Mass in B minor" and "Christmas Oratorio." The choir frequently collaborates with the English Baroque Soloists and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, also founded by Gardiner. In 2024, Gardiner announced the creation of a new ensemble, the Constellation Choir and Orchestra, following his departure from the Monteverdi Choir. The products available from the artist Monteverdi Choir & John Eliot Gardiner include CDs.
