The Trombone player, Blasco Monsorate, talks about Illayaraja, his working style and how it is working under him. Violin Vicky has a nice post about the usage of Trombone in Raja's films earlier. He has pointed out this interview of Blasco in his blog

Vicky's site has the Raja relevant portion of the interview. To read the whole interview, which also talks about R D Burman, check out

And thats why IR always wants to be called as 'composer' than a mere 'music director'.
Adappavi :lol:Quote:

My point is none of us discussing this here are even 1/millionth as talented and as focussed as him, so like what vicky says, we always take the easy route of throwing stones at IR's kirukkuthanams while there is a harder route of climbing on the everest of output he has kept there for us to focus on and that very few of us have the guts and willingness to do.Quote:

Jai,

Gokul.
Fair enough, Jaiganes. Frankly I'd not even label such things simply as acts of arrogance or "kirukkuththanam." He's just giving his opinions and people are finding it hard to digest it.
Raja always speaks his mind that shows he is a real sour grapper. ARR over took and kept his promise opening a music college. This guy IR tals about opening music university and ne ver delivers
