To the OP, I recommended the CD entitled "Creator of the Stars" by
Pomerium. Also the compilation CD "Agnus Dei" (on the Erato label
with the blue cover) is quite good. I personally like Arvo Part
(especially his "Te Deum"), but he's may be more of an acquired
tasted. Lastly there's a CD with music by Jean Richafort entitled
"Requiem in memoriam Josquin Desprez" (Harmonia Mundi with the
Hueglas-Ensemble (Paul Van Vevel dir.)).
