Meditation - J. Massenet NEW!!!
Arrangement by Ben van Dijk of this beautiful violin solo from Massenet's opera "Thais".
As recorded by Ben on his third CD "Melody".
The opera, “Thaïs”, was first performed in 1894. The “Méditation” from Act 2 is a beautiful interlude for solo violin and orchestra that has become a popular transcription for other instruments. The music accompanies the moment of the religious conversion of Thaïs, a beautiful but notorious courtesan of Alexandria.
