To the appreciators I strongly advise :

 "Masterpieces of Portuguese Polyphony", by the William Byrd Choir, hyperion.

and specially

 "Frei Manuel Cardoso REQUIEM", by the Tallis Scholars, Gimell.

 The Portuguese school of renaissance composers is beginning to be explored, 
and Frei Manuel Cardoso is in my opinion one of the great composers although
not very well known.

I was just ranting to someone about Cardoso's Et Egressus Est and his Aquam
Quam Ego Dabo. -S.

I agree. One of the choirs I sing with has recently recorded the Cardoso
Requiem, along with the Duarte L^obo Requiem for release soonish by Naxos. They
are incredible pieces of polyphony, still high renaissance when the rest of
Europe had moved on to florid Baroquery.
