Gregorio Allegri - Miserere Mei, Deus (Tenebrae)
Conducted by Nigel Short

Apparently Mozart transcribed it in its entirety after hearing it only once in 1770 (when he was 14).

Mussorgsky - Pictures at an exhibition
This live version is conducted by Solti. You might have to turn up the sound a little, but this performance is outstanding.

Monteverdi - Ohimé, dov'il mio ben, sung by Claron McFadden and Nora Fischer, with Mike Fentrs on the theorbo.
For a more Italian approach and pronunciation, the performance below is by Roberta Invernizzi & Gloria Banditelli.

And for the first version I ever heard, which remains radiant even in the sorrow of the words, agile and full of delicious vocal turns... Emma Kirkby and Evelyn Tubb, accompanied by Kirkby's husband, Anthony Rooley on lute (or possibly on theorbo).
