I'm not all that into Baroque but you can't have a fondness for good classical music and get away with not listening to Handel, Teleman, Handel, etc..
Faure's Requiem is a nice choral piece and one of my favorites as well.
You might also check out John Rutter's "Magnificat", Jonathan Elias's "The Prayer Cycle", and H Gorekei's Symphony #3 if you liked the Requiem.
If anything give the Prayer Cycle a listen it's really something else.
There's so many great composers out there and too many to list. I will hunt for a recording of that Widor's Symphony #5 and give it a listen.
