Liszt Ferenc (1811-1886): Im Rhein, im schönen Strome 

Charlotte Richardson - soprano (England), Gyökér Gabriella - piano (August 2012)

In the Rhine, in the holy stream
Is it mirrored in the waves -
With its great cathedral -
That great, holy city Cologne.

In the Cathedral stands an image
Painted on golden leather;
Into the wildness of my life
Has it shone, friendly.

Flowers and little cherubs hover
Around our beloved Lady;
The eyes, the lips, the cheeks—
They match my beloved’s exactly.

Heinrich Heine (1797-1856), text via recmusic.org
