Choral or Classical Vocal Recordings - Must Have


In the last six year I have opened my ears to choral music and classical vocal recordings. I would appreciate hearing what your Must Have list is, so that I can discover more wonderful music that maybe I haven't yet heard.

My list is in random order and is as follows:

-Magnificat by John Rutter - COLCD 114
-Lux Aeterna by Morten Lauridsen, Los Angeles Master Chorale - RCM 19705
-Let Your Voice Be Heard - Cantus - CTS 1201
-Olde English Madrigals and Folk Songs at Ely Catedral, Rutter and the Cambridge Singers - AG500-2
-Vepres by Rachmaninov - The Choral Arts Society of Washington - ERATO 2292-45269-2
-La Belle Epoque, The Songs of Reynaldo Hahn - Susan Graham - Sony SK60168
-O Magnum Mysterium by Morten Lauridsen - Nordic Chamber Choir - BR 100 305 CD
-Requiem by Faure - John Rutter and the Cambridge Singers - COLCD 109

Brahms - ein Deutsches Requiem on by Robert Shaw on Telarc, Brahms Alto Rhapsody by Shaw on Telarc.
Seven Days of Passion by Grechaninov on Chandos.
Strauss Orchestral Songs by Felicity Lott and Jarvi on Chandos.

These are three very different types of orchestral/choral from three different periods. All very assessible and enjoyable.
