Szombathely Cathedral Bells Sound Recording

[Graphic] The English version.    The bells of the cathedral Sarlós Boldogasszony (The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Elizabeth) are rung on the anniversary of the Bombing of March 4th 1945 every year.
    The soundtrack, below, was recorded on the 65th Anniversary (2010) at the front of the cathedral, and was provided by Mária Vértesi Horváth of Szombathely. By clicking on the link, below, a .mp3 file will open in the Windows Media Player or other compatible audio player. The original sound recording is approximately 3 minutes in length and was edited down to reduce the size of the file.

Hangfelvétel

[Graphic] The Hungarian version.    Az 1945. március negyedikei bombázás évfordulóján minden évben megszólalnak a Sarlós Boldogasszony Székesegyház harangjai. A mellékelt hangfelvételt Horváthné, Vértesi Mária szombathelyi lakós készitette a Székesegyház bombázásának 65. évfordulóján (2010). Az alábbi linkre való kattintás kinyitja a .mp3 fájlt, amely lejátszható a Windows Media Player vagy egyéb hasonló programmal. Az eredeti három perces hangfelvételt leröviditettük, hogy a fájl nagysága ne okozzon problémát.
