What A.R.Rahman Said about Illairaja

A.R.REHMAN ( Music Composer, India) - He is a genius by himself and is completely self-contained. He disproved me of the commonly held wrong notion that a music maker has to drink, smoke & have other bad habits in order to create inspirational music. If i am religious today, the credit goes to ilaiyaraja. I learnt it from him.

  Ambleen,
  Nobody compared ARR with Ilayaraja. And nobody would be comparing Mozart with Philip Glass. What is ur point ?? Has Ilayaraja ever spoken some good words about other composers ??

  AV,
  I've read one interview (at the time of release of moodupani, IR's 100th album / film) in which he said about MSV:
  "India'vin migapperiya isai mEdhaikaLil oruvar"
  
  In Anandhavikatan a picture of IR with Dhakshinamoorthy (senior MD, mainly for Malayalam movies -did a few in Tamil too I think) was published with a caption in which IR tells 'andha isai mEdhaiyaippatRippEsa enakku thaguthi illai'. This was in the mid'80s when IR was ruling TFM...
  
  These are just a couple I could quickly remember myself reading those days...there may be many more...

  IR has never good words for ARR......he doesent need to also......bcos he doesent have the maturity of accepting a new concept and doesent have the magnanimity to apprecaite a man who has surpassed him after working under him........

  Maddy,
  
  Has ARR ever talked about IR's contribution musically ? All he said were that he never listened to his music. He said, he liked only KVM, MSV, Sankar Ganesh and T.Rajendar from TFM. Not that I care, when ARR has that kind of attitude you can't blame IR entirely.

  This is what the article says...
  
  ிரபல பாடகர் ஹரிஹரன் தன்னுடைய புதிய ஆல்பம் ஒன்றின் ஒலிப்பதிவிற்காக இலண்டன் வந்திருந்த சமயம், அவர் தமிழோசைக்கு வந்து வழங்கிய சிறப்புச் செவ்வி.
  
  முதலாம் பாகம் (link pointing to .ram file)
  
  இரண்டாம் பாகம் (link pointing to .ram file)
  
  கசல் இசை ஆல்பங்கள் இரண்டினைத் தற்போது உருவாக்கிவருவதாக தெரிவித்த பாடகர் ஹரிஹரன், உலகின் பல்வேறு இடங்களில் உள்ள இசைக் கலைஞர்களைப் பயன்படுத்தி இதனைத் தயாரித்துவருவதாகக் கூறினார்.
  
  கர்நாடக சங்கீதம், வட இந்திய ஹிந்துஸ்தானி சங்கீதம் ஆகிய இரண்டையும் முறைப்படி பயின்றிருப்பதாகவும், அவை இரண்டிலும் தனக்கு இருக்கும் வலுவான அஸ்திவாரமே, தன்னை ஒரு நல்ல பாடகனாக நிலைநிறுத்த உதவியதென்றும் அவர் தெரிவித்தார்.
  
  'பிரண்ட்ஸ்' படத்தில் வரும் 'பூங்காற்றே' என்கிற பாடலை தனக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்த தமிழ் சினிமா பாடல் என்று கூறி, ஹரிஹரன் பாடிக் காட்டினார்.
  
  The actual interview is in real format, which even I am not able to download (thanks to corporate firewall)

  A loose translation:
  
  !**************************************************
  When the famous singer Hariharan visited London for recording of his new album, he gave a special interview for BBC Tamilosai
  
  Part I (link to .ram file)
  Part II (link to .ram file)
  
  Hariharan informed that he is working on a couple of Gazal albums and he is planning to make this with artistes from various parts of the world.
  
  He informed that as he has learnt both carnatic and hindustani music in the proper way, it served as a solid foundation for him to remain as a good singer.
  
  He sang the song 'poongAtre' from the film friends stating that it is his favourite tamil film song.
