Gounod: Masses
Christian Rathgeber (tenor), Tobias Rathgeber (tenor), Felix Rathgeber (bass), Daniel Beckmann (organ), Sabine Goetz (soprano)
Mainzer Domchor, Mainzer Domorchester, Karsten Storck

Gounod: St Cecilia Mass
Irmgard Seefried, Gerhard Stolze & Hermann Uhde
Czech Philharmonic Chorus & Orchestra, Igor Markevitch
