I kind of prefer Gounod but I'm not fussy.

This album has them all

You can even sample a few :-)

Do you like other religious classical music? My faves in that sub-genre are Requiems. Have you ever heard Berlioz's? Grandiose and awe-inspiring, yet a deeply personal expression of grief and ultimately peace (no, I didn't steal that from the liner notes).

That Gounod version is actually despised by many musicians and critics as cheap claptrap, especially for the way he appropriated the Bach Prelude.
