Watching 'Ariyudan Naan' program. This round is for people to sing the same song in different languages. One girl very wisely chose to sing, 'vizhiyile' in the pallavi, following it with the charanam of 'jotheyali' and finally blending into 'jaane do na'. She did it well. And what a song it is. Each one of the judges was excited. This song always makes you go, "Raja and no one else"

Watched the 'idea asianet' links posted in the titbits thread, thank you raj_musing for the links!

One thing that thoroughly impressed me (as it rightly did the judges too) is the quality of the orchestra! Especially the strings, WOW!

This used to be the sodhappal - almost always - on stage orchestras, even some of the popular ones of previous decades. Using keyboards to kill the spirit was a regular crime.

I'm extremely happy that such quality has happened at last with light music orchestras! (Possibly the presence of yesteryear movie artists in such teams - well, I think such teams are benefited by some who lost their jobs due to almost non-use of such section by many modern composers who save money with modern gadgets).

Sharath - a man of immense talents - even considered genius by some yesteryear DF-ers, has so much appreciation for IR! What nice remarks!

It was goosebumps when he asked the orchestra to repeat that fantastic interlude of 'chinnachchinna rOjAppoovE'!

app_engine,

Ilayaraja hits is nowadays common for any reality shows and that is the time when the "orchestra" team comes to the limelight...Its just not the singers,but the orchestra also gets their share of applause and this doesn't really happen for any other rounds!

Just to show another link where playback singer Krishnachandran(who has sung for raja) sharing his experience with raja sir......and composer Auspechan explaining the complexity of the orchestra arrangement for the "sundari" song from dalapathi and calls it as composition of "international stuff"...

enjoy!

That's true, but Ouseppu is a complicated character IMO. He was the one who was vocal during IR-ANV Kuruppu controversy and supposedly stated " PR songs are not popular, had they been popular such controversy would not have come up at all".

Dangerous fellow!
