Quite interesting, coming from the #3 brand of MF field (after M & M)

Here he talks about "kochu kochu santhOshangaL" composing session, for which a week's trip to Chennai was planned by him and Fazil warned him to be at the studio exactly at 7 AM :

പറഞ്ഞതുപോലെ ഏഴിന് തന്നെ അദ്ദേഹമെത്തി. ഞാന്* കഥ പറഞ്ഞു. പിന്നെ പാട്ടുകളുടെ സന്ദര്*ഭങ്ങളും. അഞ്ചു പാട്ടുകളാണ് വേണ്ടിയിരുന്നത്. ധ്യാനനിരതനായി കഥയും സന്ദര്*ഭങ്ങളും മനസിലുറപ്പിച്ച ഇളയരാജ പതിനൊന്നു മണിയോടെ സംഗീത സൃഷ്ടി പൂര്*ത്തിയാക്കി. അവിശ്വസനീയമായിരുന്നു അത്. അഞ്ചുപാട്ടുകളുടെ സ്ഥാനത്ത് ഓരോ പാട്ടിനും അഞ്ചുവീതം വ്യത്യസ്ത ട്യൂണുകള്* . ഉടനെ ഞാന്* ഫാസിലിനെ വിളിച്ചു. ഫാസില്* അമ്പരപ്പില്ലാതെ പറഞ്ഞു. ”അതാണ് രാജ. വിരല്* ഹാര്*മോണിയത്തില്* വെച്ചാല്* സംഗീതമേ വരൂ. മനസ്സില്* സംഗീതം മാത്രമേയുള്ളൂ.”

My translation :

As told, he reached exactly at 7 AM & I narrated the story. Then told the song situations. 5 songs were needed. After getting a deep understanding of the story & situations, he finished composing the music by 11 o' clock. It was unbelievable. Five different tunes for each of the five songs (i.e. 25 tunes)! I called Fazil immediately - Fazil replied without any surprise : "That is Raja. When his fingers touch harmonium, music simply flows out. There is music alone in his mind"

He ends the article this way :

ദീപാവലിക്ക് പടക്കം വാങ്ങാന്* കാശില്ലാതെ തകരപ്പാട്ടയില്* കൊട്ടിയപ്പോള്* താളം പിറന്നുവെന്ന് അദ്ദേഹം പറഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ട്. ഇളയരാജ മഹത്തായ സിംഫണി ചെയ്യുന്നതില്* അതിശയമില്ല. കാരണം സംഗീതം മാത്രമേയുള്ളൂ അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെയുള്ളില്* .

"He has mentioned that when he didn't have money to get crackers for Deepavali and ended up replacing that with "tapping of tin box", it gave birth to thALam. It's not surprising that Ilayaraja can make a grand symphony. Reason? There's nothing but music inside him!

I think the admin of this forum is trying to off the lights on IR, as this topic, which suppose to t discuss IRs's latest projects and works, is not shown the main page.It was shown last time.Can some one who is responsible for this put back this topic to the main site....Thanks!

But it is being sold with IR name as MD by Oriental Records to which IR recently has given complaint to Chennai police commissioner.

The next IR album should be 'katha thudarum' as the Sathyan Anthikkad's movie is expected in a month's time :

Plum,

IR's complaint is against Echo Recording company and not Oriental i Guess. Atleast that's what the newspaper said.

Cheers

No it seems IR has said Echo and oriental has same owner (Parthasarathy) and he gave complaint on both.
