ட்ரம்ஸ் புருவுடன் ஒரு (தீவிர) ராஜா ரசிகர் செய்த கலந்துரையாடல் யூடியூபில் பார்க்க வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்தது. ஒரு இசை மேதையை இன்னொரு இசைக்கலைஞர் பாராட்டுவதை கேட்பதில் இருக்கும் சுகம் இருக்கிறதே...பரவசம்.

summaa kaaikari poattu vekkira maadhiri poatrukaangappa. I was amazed to see some very rarely found Raaja songs.. including the rock song from moodupani here...
Thanks for the Puru link Venki. Wonderful to watch him talk about Raja. Gives a glimpse of how much the musicians loved him and learnt from him. I am sure lot of them must be feeling bad given the current miserly usage of acoustic instruments.
Thanks for the Puru links. It was wonderful listening to the man who is is as close to IR's music as one can get. I don't think lot of people understand how unique IR is and in my opinion the only true Genius in the realm of music composers in India. The man can create Sound design in his mind which is almost impossible to imagine for any normal person. We are lucky to hear his music in our lifetime. IR is one of a kind treasure of our great country and i hope people can recognize this and stop dragging him into comparison with other MD's. IR stands alone in his realm.
rprasad,
What you say is very true and people like Uttam Singh have said the same on stage. He is a true phenomena. Not because he can imagine things in his mind or because he is so fast while composing but more because of the quality of his ideas, the quality of his output and the consistency. Don't know of another MD who has done so many songs of such top quality.
