அந்த நிகழ்ச்சியில விஐபிங்க பேசப்போறாங்கன்னு சொல்றார் அவரு! அவங்களும் இசைக்கலைஞர்களாக இருக்கணும்னு ஆசைப்படுறேன். போதும். இந்த சினிமாக் காரங்க பேசுனது இதுவரை! இது முழுக்க முழுக்க ராஜாவின் தனிப்பட்ட ஆல்பம். சினிமாக்காரங்க யாரையுமே நிகழ்ச்சியில் விடக் கூடாதுங்குறேன்.

His small rendition of the mouna raagam theme, though the base tune is same, it sounds different(and nice too ) If you watch the dozens of videos in youtube, where fans trying to play this theme, though all the videos have same tune, none of them sounds like the original. Why?!? The piano instrument sound in the original is too peculiar! too soft!

In Manathodu Mano - A flute player from Raaja troupe . Fantastic ones .. pls watch now

PS : Putham pudhu kaalai initial flute bit was played by a holland lady . Raaja wanted this flute player to learn from this Holland lady and made efforts for the same . It is one to give credits to the players in cd cover, it is another to have an intense desire at heart to improve them as much as possible - seeing them as part of himself ! No wonder , they drop the "illaya" and call him Raaja !

PS 2 : There is a difference between raaja players and others - they seem to be soaked in music . What bliss !
