Listening to Delibes - Flower Duet from the Opera Lakme

I foolishly thought this tune was written by Yanni in the 1990s. Duhhhhhh.... :)

No, it was written 100 years ago by the French composer Delibes.

I think its one of the most beautiful love songs ever written by man. Don't you feel the love and longing in the heart beat of this song? It fills me with so much hope and positive energy.

Its also oozing with sensuality and evoking a sense of luxurious surroundings. Or perhaps gliding through a river into the heart of a fantastic raintree forest filled with beautiful singing birds in the time of Eden.

Listen to the cresendo - it really lifts the soul sky high.
