N.B. This is posting No. 1,000 on this blog. That is a good reason to offer two masses

by one of my favourite composers, performed under the direction of one of my favourite conductors.

I would like to thank all followers/downloaders for their interest and feedback.

I also want to express my gratitude to the artists and ensembles for performing such

great music and to radio channels across the world for covering live events.

Without them this blog would not exist.
