Reduction?

Hi teachers

Look at the sentence below please. Is this reduction is true? (In spite of doing...) 

In spite of composing countless large-scale stage works, Carl Orff’s fame rests almost entirely on just one, the hugely successful Carmina Burana.

Who composed composed countless large-scale stage works? Carl Off's fame or Carl Off himself?

thanks
