Gardiner has recorded over 250 albums with these and other musical ensembles. - Wikipedia

 

When John Eliot Gardiner had a band

Of instruments or choir at hand,

He gave them music; they explored it;

And sure as shootin’ they’d record it.


It only took a little while

Before his albums made a pile,

And since his repertoire’s a vast one

There may not ever be a last one.
