E - Thanks for all the recommendations. I will start ordering from Amazon immediately! I am a digital only person (computer based, actually), so the vinyl versions are not an option for me, but I believe much of what you recommend is available on cd. I may send you an email as I wade deeper into this music to get more advice from you. Thanks again!
anytime Bryon, welcome to the world of English Cathedral music. Yes I know a lot of it is Italian, but you will find that the best recordings and performances are british choirs.
I welcome any questions.
