    It's so refreshing to listen to some brand new numbers in the album. Even the older, familiar numbers like "Janani Janani" , "EnnuLLil Engo" and "Aasaya Kaathula" have been presented with some variation in interludes and orchestration. "Suneyo yashoda Maiya" is a Hindi number sung by Uttam Singh's daughter Preeti. I also found this to be a new composition.

    The instrumental compositions are a real treat.

    I especially loved the piece, "3-in-1" a composition with only 3 notes, composed especially for this concert. It's a real creative piece, which is so rich that you don't realise he has used only 3 notes!

    The last item, "Mood Kapi" is a richly layered orchestral piece that combines the Malayalam classic, "Tumbee Vaa" (Tamil: Sangathil Padatha Kavithai) with some amazing Brindavana Saranga phrases, giving it a totally new flavor. The applause from the Italians at the end of this, as well as almost every other number is mind-blowing.

    Neels,

    Sunu oh tune is of Kochu Kochu Santhoshangal song - Ghanashyama. Check out the applauding at the end of veetukku veedu song - full 2 minutes. I think they liked the rhythm variations provided in that piece.

    I think the lullabies and games piece has been reduced to 10 mts in the album, because of lack of space. Because songs on marriage, death, etc are not finding a place here.

    Venky,
    Yes. They probably also enjoyed IR's tribute to Mozart's 25th Symphony. Note the WCM style strings follow-up to each line of the pallavi that IR sings.

    Suresh,

    Shanthi tailors nu mottaiyya sollittu ennai thavikka vachuteengalae...
    Neway i had to do some work to find out the location before i grabbed my CD
    For other fans the address is as follows
    Shanthi Tailors
    no.5, Sannathi street,
    Mylapore, chennai.
    Opp st. to mayilai Kabaleeshwarar temple
    Near RASI silk emporium.
    PH: 24643783, 24951475.

    Cost of CD is Rs.300/- and cassette is Rs.140/-

    Get a copy ASAP. They have only limited copies.
    The CD is worth buying for the compostions 3in1 and orchestra[mood kapi] which is an instrumental version of 'Sangathil paadaatha' . And ofcourse to listen to the 2 minute non-stop appaulds for 'Veetukku vetukku'

    A review from this site
    http://www.aaa-angelica.com/edizioni/ang-2004.html
    after 30 years of absence from the stage (even in india), dr. ilaiyaraaja performs live with a rich, mixed, ensemble of 18 elements; his music, besides containing many different musics, can inspire reflections and meditations on the form, on its consume, for an eventual, possible expansion: by showing rare models and formulae, unthinkable for the western music song world or western cinema; it is an open form that is strictly linked to the inspiration of the moment, ready to welcome anything in a surprising structure, enriched by a, still so strong, indian tradition, where rhythm, melody, devotion and surprise travel together; itıs almost like a kaleidoscopic song, full of rules, but also rich in expressive possibilities.
