Promotional video clip for tribute LP "Poets In New York" (1986). Leonard Cohen performs Take This Waltz, his song based on his own translation of Garcia Lorca's Pequeño vals vienés.

The Leonard Cohen Files says: "The video was filmed in Spain, in the city of Granada, famous for the Alhambra Castle. Leonard Cohen is shown in the house of Federico Garcia Lorca. 6 min, color."

Note: This is 1986 version of the song, produced for the Spanish tribute album "Poets In New York". Later, Cohen released the same track on his 1988 album I'm Your Man, adding Raffi Hakopian's violin and Jennifer Warnes' vocals in overlayers. So don't be alarmed if you don't hear Warnes' duetting on some verses and no violin at all.

According to some sources, this wasn't real video clip, but promotional clip which originally was the part of TV programme accompanying "Poets in New York" LP. Strangely enough, there's another version at YouTube, recorded from TV Espana, two minutes longer, re-edited and re-cut - some extra shots show Cohen playing the piano, walking through Garcia Lorca's house museum etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV97_RUbuso My version is 4 minutes, while The Leonard Cohen Files says it should be six minutes. Nevertheless, my version is obviously also complete clip, and I took it from the home-made DVDR which was shown on Leonard Cohen Event organised by The LC Files, while the DVDR's contents came from press kit tapes sent by Mr. Cohen, so...

+Richard ChZ lekkim opóźnieniem (dopiero co dojechałem...) ale tym bardziej serdecznie, witam w gościnnych progach Ziemianki Polskiej Richarda.Od razu też musze zapytać, czy, jak z zaskoczeniem stwierdził niejaki Leonard Cohen, rzeczywiście jest w Wiedniu aż 10 pięknych kobiet?;)
