vocal music for a newbie

I've never listened to any classical music with vocals until getting into Beethoven's 9th symphony recently. I want to start hearing more but have NO idea where to begin. can you folks give me some specific recommendations based on my loving the 9th? (although I would be happy to "stretch" also.) please, what are the essential performances that should be heard?

Beethovens 9th certainly isn't the best starter for getting into vocal music! But if you liked it I suggest you go to Brahms EIN DEUTSCHES REQUIEM next. Try the Robert Shaw recording. Then try the Passions by Bach: St. Matthew with Ennoch Guttenberg, St. John with Suzuki, B minor Mass with Thomas Hengelbrock. Please contact me if you need further advice.
Best of luck!
