Strike somebody as sad

Hi,

Could you help me to understand the highlighted sentence?

Thank you,

"'Is my brother here now?' Yoko looked out over the snow-covered platform. "See that he behaves himself." It was such a beautiful voice that it struck one as sad. In all its high resonance it seemed to come echoing back across the snowy night."
