I think Rutter is the best!

Rutter is a very fine director, and the Cambridge Singers can't be beat for that English sound.

I don't like all of his own compositions, but some of them are very good. We sing his "Candlelight Carol" just about every Christmas. "The Lord is My Shepherd" from his Requiem is also fine (I like oboes - "Des Antonius von Padua Fischpredikt" by Mahler is also a favorite of mine, not only because of the oboes but because Fischer-Dieskau (may he rest in peace) sings it spectacularly.)
