OK, so I'm listening to some Christmas music I downloaded a long time ago by the Turtle Creek Chorale & St. Olaf choir (among others).... I need some suggestions for some new recordings to add to my collection (not to be downloaded, of course!), and where I can get them. *I'm looking for choral music--not necessarily just a capella, but def. multi-part harmony that will give me chills...
Come on, my fellow choir nerds, I need some new stuff.
ETA: give me something besides the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Vocal Majority & Royal College of Music Chamber Choir....already got 'em

i'm a fan of the boys/girls choir of harlem. different than most recordings, b/c the voices aren't mature (don't get me wrong, they sound great...its just different)
but come on, NOTHING beats the messiah from morman tabernacle. my mom has it on RECORD, and we bust it out every year.
Brooklyn Tabernacle choir-----holiday music or no, they always sound good!!
