The most beautiful interpretation I have ever heard. Thank you very much!

Meditation is one of my favorite pieces. Having just devoured numerous versions on Youtube I found this one. It, unlike many others, evokes the true majestic beauty of Massenet's Meditation. Bravo!!

[grenouille]

It's beautiful !! Thank you so much for playing that way, with such emotion and soul 😍

[Henga]

I've heard from many artists. This is my favorite. Wonderful. The work is impressive.

The first ten violin notes immediately cause my eyes to water and get goose bumps. Just stunned every time.

Too beautiful music for mere words alone. Thank you for this glorious fantastic music Massenet.

Браво, Ник! Приятно слушать скрипача, который очень бережно относится к звуку! Иногда хочется чуть больше движения внутри музыкальной фразы.
Это относится и к Чайковскому (Мелодия). Ты ярко выделяешься среди современных голландских скрипачей, для которых физическая презентация важнее самой музыки. Спасибо тебе за твой талант! Желаю тебе дальнейших творческих успехов и новых открытий, ибо нет в музыке предела познания.

Une Mélodie à laquelle on ne résiste pas, surtout quand elle est interprétée comme ici. Superbe ! Telle que la voulait le compositeur .

[judyglasel]

There are no words that could convey this beauty 💜💜💜💜

[lucychaddha]

Exquisite composition; beautifully expressed here. My most favorite piece of music.

[marycanovas]

Finally a truly wonderful version! Thank you!

[rayandlynn]

The most beautiful performance of that song I’ve ever heard. ❤

[diegoandresvillarrealriver]

Esta melodía siempre me llega al alma, la suaviza, la endulza, la enternece y la llena de ilusión. ¡Qué gran oasis, qué gran refugio para el corazón es esta meditación!

I was introduced to this piece in Boston over a half century ago in a memorial tribute to the great French conductor Pierre Monteux, a former conductor of the BSO. Since then I have heard it in many arrangements and venues, and this is one of the best. Thanks for posting it.

How lonely, sad, heartbroken do you have to be to have composed this STUPENDOUS soul grasping music!!!! Brakes my heart always just listening !

[utemaslen]

Just beautiful, truly the best version .

[bobturnley]

It's as if Massenet reached out to the muse of absolute musical purity to find the melody to make every heart feel its blessing. The Meditation is always most beautiful when heard with the soft tones of the choir.
