The Miller and the Brook
The Miller:
When a loyal heart
Perishes from love,
The lilies wither
in every field;
The full moon must hide
itself in the clouds,
So people won't see
its tears;
And the angels close
Their eyes
And sob and sing
His soul to peace.
Der Bach:
And when love frees
Itself from pain,
A little star, a new one,
Twinkles in the sky;
And three roses spring,
Half red and half white,
That never wither,
From the thorny stem.
And the angels cut off
Their wings
And every morning
Go down to earth.
The Miller:
Oh brook, dear brook,
You mean so well:
Oh brook, but do you know
What love does to you?
Ah, below, down there,
The cool repose!
Oh brook, dear brook,
Just sing to me.
Der Müller und der Bach
Der Müller:
Wo ein treues Herze
In Liebe vergeht,
Da welken die Lilien
Auf jedem Beet;
Da muß in die Wolken
Der Vollmond gehn,
Damit seine Tränen
Die Menschen nicht sehn;
Da halten die Englein
Die Augen sich zu
Und schluchzen und singen
Die Seele zur Ruh.
Der Bach:
Und wenn sich die Liebe
Dem Schmerz entringt,
Ein Sternlein, ein neues,
Am Himmel erblinkt;
Da springen drei Rosen,
Halb rot und halb weiß,
Die welken nicht wieder,
Aus Dornenreis.
Und die Engelein schneiden
Die Flügel sich ab
Und gehn alle Morgen
Zur Erde herab.
Der Müller:
Ach Bächlein, liebes Bächlein,
Du meinst es so gut:
Ach Bächlein, aber weißt du,
Wie Liebe tut?
Ach unten, da unten
Die kühle Ruh!
Ach Bächlein, liebes Bächlein,
So singe nur zu.

The most beautiful and inspired melody ever written, isn't it? I don't feel any kind of video or visual is adequate for this music. Too much action , with hands flying all over the keyboard ( Liszt made sure it is one of the most difficult transcriptions - ever ) . To fully enjoy it , download a free MP3 at my Google Music store:

Outside of US download here : http://tinyurl.co...
If you feel creative, please go ahead and make better visuals - or just use it as a soundtrack for a self-made Christmas card, or share it with your friends as is... Enjoy - and Merry Christmas !!!!
The video was recorded a week ago , in Hannover - for "Liszt project", my attempt to recreate old style recording -- with final result being an fully analogue vinyl LP...
PS. Turns out Google music is not available for non-US users. I uploaded it on file-sharing and links are available at my twitter account ( ValLisitsa) and Facebook. or directly:

No. 6 - Vallée d'Obermann
VADIM CHAIMOVICH, piano
recital at the Ortenburg Castle, Bavaria (Germany)
Could I embody and unbosom now
That which is most within me,--could I wreak
My thoughts upon expression, and thus throw
Soul--heart--mind--passions--feelings--strong or weak--
All that I would have sought, and all I seek,
Bear, know, feel--and yet breathe--into one word,
And that one word were Lightning, I would speak;
But as it is, I live and die unheard,
With a most voiceless thought, sheathing it as a sword.
Lord Byron, "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage"
