My interest in this is inspired by the essay referred to below - an interesting one to wet your appetite.But, athough I have the composer's chamber and symphony works well represented, this library only has one choral album (the Pentatone 'At the Reading of a Psalm"}. So recommendations??

I've spent some time researching for his choral music and there is not much to find apart from 2 versions of "The Twelve Choruses - Partsongs on Poems by Polonski", the CD on one label being unavailanle and a download on Presto with no booklet the other. Nothing choral on eClassical.I might take a gamble on the Presto offer. Maybe his choral music is a bit too complex for many to tackle??
POSTSCRIPT EDIT Just came across this comment: Barry Brenesal writing in Fanfare pointed out the extravagant difficulty of this music with its cruelly exposed entries on unprepared tones, and occasional passages in which up to four vocal parts actively pursue separate lines outside a strict polyphonic framework. It is no surprise then that the only recordings of the work are by extremely skilled professional or academic choruses. This recording by Pyotr Kondrashin, presumably from the same famous Russian musical family as Kyril, is excellent and allows the complex multiple vocal lines to be heard clearly while maintaining a realistic ambience.

One of the few Pletnev recordings I have (after my purge of his recordings a few years ago). It's an absolutely extraordinary work IMHO - I posted about it here in more detail some years ago.
