About this item
Massenet's opera "Thais" was first performed in 1894 at the Paris opera. The opera itself was not particularly well received but the "Meditation" found instant success particularly with violinists. The solo part is only really suitable for a violin or perhaps a flute.

Composer
Jules Massenet (1842-1912)
Jules Émile Frédéric Massenet (May 12, 1842 ? August 13, 1912) was a French composer best known for his operas. His compositions were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and he ranks as one of the greatest melodists of his era. Soon after his death, Massenet's style went out of fashion, and many of his operas fell into almost total oblivion. Apart from Manon and Werther, his works were rarely performed. However, since the mid-1970s, many operas of his such as Thaïs and Esclarmonde have undergone periodic revivals.
