About This Song
About "Thaïs : Massenet: Thaïs: Jules MASSENET : Thaïs. Méditation" by Christer Thorvaldsson
A violin sings a meditation so serene it seems to hover outside time. Massenet's Thaïs excerpt floats on a bed of hushed strings, each note a drop of light on still water. The calm is almost unbearable, a beauty so pure it hints at renunciation and the ache of leaving the world behind.
