Since I have not heard these recordings, I don't deserve to be in your rosary, but here's a start

...
(Helen and others, I'm sure, will have a personal recommendation for you)

All the following are 5 star rated on Amazon (read the reviews as they contain detailed and useful information)

If you really need it ASAP, this is the one as it is in stock and doesn't have extra processing time at Amazon. (5 star rating too!)

This oneships in 6-12 days and is offered at a much lower price.

Another

and Another

Hope this helps a little,

I'm no expert, but Jen's first link with the Tallis Scholars looks good...anything by them is fabulous. Not knowing exactly what you are looking for...my only criticism of that cd is that is has some Masses music, instead of just choral music not with Mass parts. If you're happy with Mass

This one has many motets and the excerpts sound really nice. Have to say that album cover turns me off.

Otherwise, I like anything by Chanticleer, Kings College Choir, John Rutter and Cambridge Singers...but I don't see anything dedicated to just Palestrina by them.

I got the double palestrina cd by the Tallis scholars. It has all their palestrina recordings on it. They sound lovely.

I wish I knew who did the recording on dh's orginal tape it is beautiful.

I would trade one talented singer for our whole "choir" at church. Im very tired of the same old protestent hyms at the Mass.
