Did you guys see that there were 2 bassoon instruments? I think they were next to Oboe/Clarinet? Also, Mr. Nicholas Newland conducted the orchestra is something you will only see in live classical concerts (even though this was an audio launch function, the way he bowed to the audience and hand shaking the concert master (first chair) was very professional). The lucky souls were the CHOIR group (both female and male) witnessing live orchestra. They were all very fortunate to be in the middle of the whole orchestra. Also noticed Harp in the back corner.. I did not see the Bagpiper. Not sure if it was used or not... This is 100% classical orchestra. The only thing missing is a concert hall. I can just imagine how it will sound in a concert hall... I hope they release the audio portion of the "Tribute to Raaja" section.

Ferenc Nemeth

update again!:

here is the reply from the jazz critic!:

"burn me something. i have a good feeling about this." - this abt NEPV after he listened to some of other IR's works online and he learnt that Ferenc Nemeth is the drummer who worked on NEPV - Nemeth's earlier works have been reviewed by him and i have a gut feeling being his friend, he has gotten some feedback from Nemeth abt IR!

my instincts are proving correct once again! and am going through the kind of nervous anticipation of a stunning review!

this is just the beginning friends! many more in the offing

a renowned New Orleans based jazz club is the next target

but one thing at a time

watching the NEPV audio release show - Suraj Jagan was embarrassing - why would they even want to perform a song of this genre with a full-fledged orchestra on stage ? it was eve more nauseating to watch the group doing a kutthu on the same stage - advising the crowd not to whistle so as to maintain decorum with a symphony orchestra is one thing - and to have a cheap kuthhu dance performed with the same orchestra on stage is absolute crass and defeats the very purpose of even advising the crowd to be silent

I wish I had a million dollars to invite IR to do a proper symphonic concert

Yes.. they could have avoided dancing on the stage. After putting in lot of effort and this dance reminded me of a typical audio release function...

yes Nick was quite professional and bubbling with energy. During rehearsing the orchestra were playing all songs including the tribute instrumental piece....IR pointed the mistakes in the violin section when they played "sundari" BGM piece in which the they made some mistakes Nick immediately oblidged to IR's request and corrected their notes on the stage itself...i was awe struck....

its not that he is in my radar ! i approached him in 2009 in the first place, so how could i not include him for NEPV ?!

I remember by reading about your role in getting that FM program through, and will forget the joy of listening! thanks for pointing out!
