Passage foyer, Bells

Bells for the performance of Berlioz’s “Symphonie fantastique” and Mussorgsky’s “Boris Godunov”. The idea for bells that can be supported in the middle instead of being hung, and are thus better suited for use in the orchestra, came from the Philharmonic percussionist Fredi Müller. They were made by the bell foundry of Bachert in Heilbronn with financial support from the Society of Friends (Gesellschaft der Freunde) of the Berlin Philharmonie.
