About Us

Monteverdi Productions is a non-for-profit company: any profits from sales of our CDs are re-invested into further recordings with the Monteverdi Choir, English Baroque Soloists, Orchestre Révolutionaire et Romantique under Sir John Eliot Gardiner.

Our aim is to produce recordings of the highest artistic quality, and to offer outstanding young soloists the opportunity to be featured on record. By purchasing MVP recordings our customers are investing directly in the recorded future of the Monteverdi.

Founded in 1964 by Sir John Eliot Gardiner as a specialist baroque ensemble, the Monteverdi Choir became internationally renowned for its performances and recordings.

With the founding of the English Baroque Soloists in 1979 and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique in 1990, Monteverdi Choir & Orchestra fast established itself as a leading influence in every area of the repertoire, winning numerous international awards, rivalling classic recordings of the catalogue, from Monteverdi to Britten.

A pioneering organisation, Monteverdi Choir & Orchestra achieved its most ambitious project to date in 2000 - the Bach Cantata Pilgrimage. To mark the 250th anniversary of the composer's death, the ensembles performed all 198 of Johann Sebastian Bach's sacred cantatas in churches throughout Europe.
