'Bombay' in The Guardian's list of '1000 albums to hear before you die'
-23 November, 2007
The Guardian, the respected newspaper published in the UK, has featured A.R.Rahman's 'Bombay' among 1000 albums that are a must-listen. The publication said "(A.R.Rahman) is considered by many to be India's greatest living composer, and any number of Rahman's soundtracks could have made this list. Bombay wins out thanks to the emotionally charged orchestral title track (often heard on chillout compilations) and Kehna Hi Kya, which outweirds Björk's Medulla when it comes to vocal arrangements."
This follows the recent inclusion of 'Roja' in Time magazine's global list of Top 10 soundtracks of all time.
Copyright, royalty issues discourage great musician
SUBHASH K JHA Times News Network
Bollywood's loss is going to be the Western world's gain. A R Rahman is deliberately turning down big assignments here because of copyright and royalty issues regarding music sales. The reticent retainer of the raga and rhythm is reluctant to discuss the issue. "It's too complicated. But, yes, the issues do stop me from accepting more Bollywood offers. Those who want to work with me in Mumbai but won't agree to my conditions, are going to other composers. At the moment, I've also cut down film assignments because I want to focus on creating a Western-classic music conservatory in India. With this I hope to bridge the gap between Western classical and Indian ragas. Imagine a thumri being played by an orchestra! Or a Carnatic raga being a part of a big Hollywood epic," said Rahman.
The musical visionary says he needs to take his music to another level now. "I can't be doing just films, films, films all my life," said Rahman. "But whenever I work in Mumbai, I give my fullest concentration, as I did for Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar, which I'm proud of." However, international assignments are getting more prominent in Rahman's career. "I enjoyed doing Shekhar Kapoor's
Elizabeth — The Golden Age. Now my music for the stage adaptation of The Lord Of The Rings is ready. The album is being released in Feb."
Rahman sees this album as his big international leap. "Every song has a minimum of 200 musicians and technicians involved in it. Huge choirs and orchestras were brought into play. We recorded the album in London and mixed it in my studio at Chennai. The whole crew came down from all over the world." All the songs are in English and in Elvish…the language of The Lord Of The Rings. "I had lots of help from fellow musicians like Christopher Nightingale. It took me three years to do the album."
Looking back, Rahman is not the least content with his achievements. "It's never enough," he rued. "Music is my only therapy. There're so many awful things happening in the world. I wish I could heal the world. My peace anthems like Vande Mataram and Pray For Me Brother are a small candle light in the storm. But you never know which candle will light a thousand other candles."
