Jules Massenet

May 12, 1842 - August 13, 1912
born in Montaud, Loire, France, composed during the Romantic period
Jules Massenet (1842-1912) is remembered as one of the most popular French composers of the late Romantic period, best known for his operas, of which he wrote several dozen. His music is notable for its expressive warmth and lyricism, generous vocal writing, brilliant orchestration, and its ability to evoke the exotic settings of his operas. His operas Manon and Werther are secure at the core of the operatic canon, and the “Méditation” from Thaïs is one of the most familiar melodies in classical music. He was a professor at the Paris Conservatoire, where his students included Gustav Charpentier and Reynaldo Hahn. ~ Stephen Eddins, Rovi

Don't read this because it actually works. You will get kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the the best day of your life. However if you do not post this comment on at least 3 different songs you will die in 2 days. Now you've started reading this so don't stop. This is so scary put this on at least 5 songs in at least 143 minutes when if done press f6 and your lovers name will appear on the screen in big letters this is scary cuz it actually works
I love Manon. Anna Netrebko did a fabulous job with it on Met HD broadcast a while back. Also love the Meditation - probably because I used to play violin! LOL.

Renee Fleming has to be one the greatest sopranos of modern times. She sings each role with so much passion and can sing just about any role of any composer. I can listen to her all day.

This melody in Meditation speaks to me like the breathless, heart racing feeling in anticipation of one's beloved. Lilting, and yet dramatic. I adore this piece. I will want to consume more of Massenet's works for my listening pleasure.
krunk as hell fo sho
such beautiful melodies, what an extraordinar y intonation this resonates within me...

I love Saint Saens, but Massenet wrote so many more successful operas;
I really like Esclaremonde , Cendrillon, Roi de Lahore, Manon, Werther,
Thais. The others have lots of little good bits too
Saint-Saens blows Massenet out of the water.
this is really wonderful. no wonder he was so successful.
