Gardiner"s approach to this piece is refreshing with lively tempi, exquisite phrasing, vitality, and gives the mass an emotional center. The Monteverdi Choir also gives a fine performance, with careful attention to classical-style. Also, few choirs/choruses 
can match Moneverdi"s tuning.
John Eliot Gardiner is one of the leading conductors in the active "authentic performances" movement in England, performing Baroque music but also extending his range into later repertoire. He first conducted at the age of 15, and after finishing school he studied at King"s College, Cambridge. While still an ndergraduate, he conducted the combined Oxford and Cambridge Singers on a 1964 tour of the Middle East and founded the Monteverdi Choir, which has consistently performed on his recordings since.
He expanded his activities in the original-style instruments movement by recognizing that from the Classical era and well into the Romantic age there were distinctly different instrument designs than those that are standard today. As a result, he founded another new orchestra, the Orchéstre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, to specialize in that period with authentic instruments.
He has also been an active guest conductor, leading major orchestras of the world, including the Cleveland, Berlin Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw, Vienna Philharmonic, and Philharmonia orchestras, and has conducted the Puccini opera Manon Lescaut at Glyndebourne. He led a cycle of all seven nature Mozart operas and has conducted over 250 recordings on Deutsche Grammophon and Erato labels. 
He and Herbert von Karajan share the record for the most Gramophone Awards in a single year (three), while Gardiner has won more of them over the years than any other artist. ~ Joseph Stevenson, All Music Guide
