Maestro Ilaiyaraja New Albums 2011 - Hello Jaihind / Sri Rama Rajyam

[Sureshs65]

What!!! How come we don't get to know about these releases I did not enter the CD shop thinking nothing new of Raja is anyway being released !!! Will check out first thing tomorrow.

Listening to baba pugazh maalai.
This is one devotional album that is simple, yet packed with enough instrumental nuances that underline every Raaja album.
Raaja has grasped the spiritual essence of Shirdi Sai perfectly and the result is that he has got Vaali to pen the right lines, which
glisten like dew drops in the early morning sunshine - just that the songs are not dew drops on spider web that whithers away, but
honey drops crystallized and collected in beautiful silk thread - Raja's music. His music stays much like the thread, barely visible, but
all encompassing to cause that sensation of sereneness in a Sai mandir.
All the songs are to be played everyday in the beginning of the day - to create
the spiritual humility that is very much required in preparing the mind for the "path".
I am unable to put one song below the other as all of them are equally beautiful and serene.
However "Poovaaram sootti" is in some zone !!

PS: Sharanam Bhava sharanam is a classic kalyani (though there is a shade of nalinakanthi in the end) piece that is bound to remind the listeners ARR's "Shakthi kodu" from Rajinikanth's Baba.
I devote the song to speedy recovery of Rajinikanth.

Wow! excellent description Jai!! Need to listen to the songs.

Jai,

'poovaram sooti' is the best in the album. That is the only song not by Vaali

[skr]

I like Aadhi Bhagawan the most..Its supposed to be based on the Hindustani Raag Suddha Saarang ..

படத்துக்கு பெரும் பலமாக இருப்பவர் இசைஞானி இளையராஜா. மனதை நெகிழ வைக்கும் டைட்டில் இசையுடன் தொடங்கும் அவர் ராஜாங்கம் க்ளைமாக்ஸில் விஸ்வரூபம் எடுக்கிறது.

அப்புக்குட்டி அறிமுகமாகும் காட்சிக்கு அவர் பிரயோகித்திருக்கும் இசை... வர்ணனைகளுக்கு அப்பாற்பட்டது. அதேபோல, அந்த சண்டைக் காட்சியின் ஆரம்பத்தில் மவுனத்தையும், போகப் போக இசையால் அந்தக் காட்சியின் உக்கிரத்தை உணர வைப்பதும் இளையராஜாவால் மட்டுமே சாத்தியம்.

மூன்றே பாடல்கள். அவற்றில் 'பூவக் கேளு...' மிக அழகான மெலடி. 'குதிக்கிற குதிக்கிற குதிரைக் குட்டி...' ராஜா ஸ்பெஷல். துள்ள வைக்கிறது.
