Recordist's notes
The second occasion each year for the ringing of the city bells is the Saturday evening before the first Sunday of Advent. Unfortunately, the parking garage, which offers a good acoustic panorama, is busy with traffic at this time, as can be clearly heard during the recording. (Binaural recording with DPA 4560 on Zoom F3)
