I enjoy listening to orchestral choral music. It can be a challenge to reproduce well and well done recordings can serve for component and system evaluation.
A classic eminent example is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Requiems typically have include a choir. Brahms wrote a variety of interesting choral pieces (Alto Rhapsodie Op. 53, Schicksalslied, Op 54, Nänie, Op. 82 and others). Bach's St.Matthew Passion BWV 244, Pergolesi's Stabat Mater, Bruckner's Te Deum in C Major and Mahler's Symphony No. 8, are other examples. List of symphonies for chorus and orchestra. (limited to symphonies)
My hope for this thread is for you to contribute recording specific examples of what your like; ideally that includes a catalog number. Hopefully some are on LP.
I'll start with these:
L'Oiseau-Lyre D189D 3 (3 LP box)
Propius PROP 7815
Decca SET 534-5 (2 LP)
