Will try ofcourse! I dont have many expectations as such, because it is a play and emphasis will be more on proceedings, actors, dialogues etc. but will still try to record - IF i manage to get the tickets!
But i dont understand - what do they mean by "composed and conducted by". Will IR be there with the orchestra, to conduct it Live? or are they using that phrase, in a casual sense, replacing "Music By". I doubt if the music will be played LIVE.
Ditto doubt here. However, something I'd fancy would be a live orchestra playing along (remember that set of violinists he'd brought along for Mohanbabu's birthday funtion?). The idea isn't very uncommon in theatre, actually. A 10hour long Kannada play (staged by RangAyanA, last year at Mysore), had a small set of musicians playing live music, that was composed by Hamsalekha, who was also present with the group. Though it's difficult to imagine something on these lines from IR, it'd be great if it were to happen! Lets see what's in store.
I believe IR might have played for dramas in the 50s and 60s on tamil stage - well, at second tier events possibly. You know, the ones in front row playing the harmonium score live...
Yes, a home-coming of sorts. We've heard the man himself speak about playing the harmonium and singing for plays and commie stage talks/shows; days of a young warrior wanting to burst into the battle scene. Now what remains to be seen is how the old and battered warhorse treads this path.
MasterPiece appadinnu oru program oditrukku Jaya TV la, right now(4.00 pm 5th OCT) Nannan naa na naa music oda making, thalai conduct panrathu, team/crew interview ellaam podraanga.
Jaya TV's sincerity in airing a Raja program/Interview on every amaavaasai/pournami :clap: :notworthy: Oru Talent ai eppadi mathikkanum perumai paduthanum nu therinjirukku!
Jaya TV rocks, thanks to Subasree Pulikkachal (she's a big Thalaivan fan too)Quote:
