Rameau: Les Indes Galantes
Rameau’s opera Les Indes Galantes was published by the composer into a set of suites, restructuring the music in a different order from the opera. Taken an instrumental work, these suites stand on their own. The best current version is on Harmonia Mundi and it is a bargain too. A great baroque work worth checking out.

Schutz Italian Madrigals
Heinrich Schutz [1585-1672] composed his Opus 1 Italian Madrigals under the tutorage of Gabrieli, but nonetheless they are 19 beautiful works, mostly for 5 voices.
Seems that there are no current versions available on CD at the moment, although you can get some used. As far as MP3 albums, there are two from Harmonia Mundi and Berlin Classics that would be worth checking out.
