Sorry for the open-ended question. I'm buying some recordings based on my reading of Copland's "What to Listen To in Music" and happened upon a recording of 2 Palestrina masses (Missa Papae Marcelli and Missa Aeterna Christi Munera--Oxford Camerata w/ Jeremy Summerly--Naxos). I was knocked out. On first hearing, almost supernaturally beautiful.
What else should I be listening to as far as early polyphony (or plain chant for that matter)--I don't expect comprehensive recommendations, just a few good points (composers, recordings) to dig in.


something that really knocked me out recently was the Hilliard Ensemble's Perotin disc.
