伯恩斯坦指揮李斯特《浮士德交響曲》第三章-梅菲斯特

這是最後部份---被稱作神秘的合唱.據wikipedia說是李斯特後來改寫結尾時加上的,幫浮士德的重生和拯救帶來了希望.
歌德的原作:

Everything transitory

is only an approximation;

what could be achieved

here comes to pass;

what no-one could describe,

is here accomplished;

the Eternal Feminine

draws us aloft.

Eternal Feminine=God as the eternal Mother. 為什麽德國文化裏從歌德到瓦格納都有女性化的上帝? I don't know.“God is Father, and even more, He is Mother.”
這裏歌德是在寫警世通言:"可能得到的一定會消失". 通過神的介入,浮士德的得到升華.
