Thanks
It would have been impossible for me to gather all this information without the help of
all those people, some near, others in places all over the world. Some are
Stabat Mater fanatics like me, others have just taken an interest and were kind enough to
help with some piece of information, or by buying a CD for me in their country. I want to
thank them all by listing them here in alphabetical order.
I trust that everyone will understand that I make one exception for a very special thank
you:
Hannie van Osnabrugge, my wife and friend, who started the whole thing and never stops
trying to find ways to make this site better and more interesting.
