Dmitri Hvorostovsky - Spring Streams (Rachmaninoff)

Ivari Ilja - Piano
Moscow 2008

Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff, Op.14 No. 11
Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev

Ещё в полях белеет снег,
А воды уж весной шумят,
Бегут и будят сонный брег,
Бегут и блещут, и гласят.

Они гласят во все концы:
ъВесна идет,
Весна идет!
Мы молодой весны гонцы,
Она нас выслала вперёд.
Весна идет,
Весна идет!ъ
И тихих, теплых майских дней
Румяный, светлый хоровод
Толпится весело за ней.

Jeshchjo v poljakh belejet sneg,
A vody uzh vesnoj shumjat,
Begut i budjat sonnyj breg,
Begut i bleshchut, i glasjat.

Oni glasjat vo vse koncy:
"Vesna idet,
Vesna idet!
My molodoj vesny goncy,
Ona nas vyslala vperjod.
Vesna idet,
Vesna idet!"
I tikhikh, teplykh majskikh dnej
Rumjanyj, svetlyj khorovod
Tolpitsja veselo za nej.

The fields are still covered with white snow.
But the streams are already rolling in a spring mood,
Running and awakening the sleepy shore,
Running and gliterring and announcing loudly.

They are announcing loudly to every corner:
"Spring is coming,
Spring is coming!
We are the messengers of young Spring,
She has sent us to come forward,
Spring is coming,
Spring is coming!"
And the quiet, warm May days
Follow her, merrily crowded
Into the rosy, bright dancing circle.
