伯恩斯坦指挥李斯特《浮士德交响曲》第三章-梅菲斯特

这是最后部份---被称作神秘的合唱.据wikipedia说是李斯特后来改写结尾时加上的,帮浮士德的重生和拯救带来了希望.
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. 为什么德国文化里从歌德到瓦格纳都有女性化的上帝? I don't know.“God is Father, and even more, He is Mother.”
这里歌德是在写警世通言:"可能得到的一定会消失". 通过神的介入,浮士德的得到升华.
