Message to all ILAYARAAJA FANS across the globe: This is an interview which he has given in a telugu tv channel last week: Recent one. thanks to Kamal Aakarsh Vishnubhotla
Q1: Do you have plans to publish your scoresheets for the benefit of people who want to play your music in orchestras because it is a bundle of treasure?
Answer: why should I do it? you should do it. Will you do it?
Q2: You had plans to open a music school, what happened?
Answer: I am unable to get funds. Who will come forward? Will you fund it? tell me, are you ready? (the journo's face turned pale, because raaja was asking her repeatedly)
Q3: Don't you want to release your previous songs in remastered versions, in good quality so that we all can enjoy them?
Answer: why should I do that? things of past and things of past. why should I do that thing again today, when I can give something new?
Can anyone give me INR 1 crore? I will go to him and ask him to release "Moods of Ilayaraaja" which has been kept unreleased for the past 10-12 years and many more instrumental albums which he has done but not released?
