Choral music suggestions

Choral music covers a lot of ground, but one of my favorites was Edward Elgar's "Coronation Ode", originally released on LP by EMI Records. I don't know if it was re-issued on CD, but if so, and you like Elgar's work, it's a superb recording.

I have a CD on Teldec of Brahms Secular Choruses, "Lieder und Romanzen" 4509-92058-2. The first time I played it my wife was in another other room and she told me it sounded like angels singing. I have numerous recordings on the Teldec label and they are generally very good.

Try one of the several good renditions of Rachmaninoff's "Vespers", beautiful and haunting. My favorite is on Telarc with the Robert Shaw Chorale.
