Meditation from Thais on Cello

I have a hard time listening to classical music these days, and so don't very often; it makes me think and remember, and we all know what happens when I do that (↓↓↓↓). But every once in a while I'll venture it, usually either when I'm feeling relatively well or so bad it just doesn't matter. I won't tell which it was today.

Anyway, I've never heard this played on cello before, but it came on my pandora mix a little while ago, and I found the melancholy of the piece and of its associations in my own life to be perfectly suited to the naturally somber tone of the cello. The one I heard on pandora was actually Yo-Yo Ma, but I thought his interpretation was a bit lacking in expressiveness, so I found a cellist whom I like better to share with you. Considerate of me, right? Yeah, I'm just like that.
