But I recently read a review in Fanfare of some choral music and thought I'd check it out now I am Spotified.

The bigger choral pieces - Apparebit & Mass - took my fancy rather than the smaller ones.

This is truly delightful - has soothed our souls for many years ... couldn't imagine it being done better.
 
This recording of Rakmaninov's 'Isle of the Dead' is goosebump material. His Symphonic Dances are good but the 'Isle' is simply breathtaking.

I like Bernstein most when he does his own tunes.
