John Eliot Gardiner :

Sir John Eliot Gardiner CBE (born April 20, 1943, Fontmell Magna, Dorset,
England) is an English conductor. He founded the Monteverdi Choir (1966),
the English Baroque Soloists (1978) and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et
Romantique (1990). Gardiner has recorded over 250 albums with these and
other musical ensembles, most of which have been published by Deutsche
Grammophon and Philips Classics.
John Eliot Gardiner is most famous for his interpretations of Baroque
music on period instruments with the Monteverdi Choir and the English
Baroque Soloists. His repertoire and discography are not limited to Early
music. With the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique Gardiner has
performed a wide range of Classical and Romantic music, including many
works of Hector Berlioz and all of Beethoven's symphonies. A recording of
the third symphony of the latter was used in a dramatisation by the BBC of
Beethoven's writing of that symphony.
