One feature that distinguishes Raja from other composers is his ability to get to the crux of a particular culture / language and tune accordingly. All this without losing his individuality. His Telugu songs will sound like someone who knows only Telugu music has tuned them and the same applies to his Malayalam output. The song you have written about and Suresh Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775860840384645432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4485373199416659524.post-29662747285766435672010-08-21T20:45:07.899+05:302010-08-21T20:45:07.899+05:30Enjoyable composition.How beautifully the ragas bl...Enjoyable composition.How beautifully the ragas blend without looking like patch work!!<br /><br />By the way I am thinking if Vadivelu of Tanjore Quartet's role in structuring Mohiniattam at the behest of ST could have probably resulted in a performance format very similar to that of a Bhartanatyam recital.SSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4485373199416659524.post-71001339832482802142010-08-20T14:04:04.600+05:302010-08-20T14:04:04.600+05:30Hi,

As always, wonderful write up.I always have a special affinity towards Ilaiyaraaja's Malayalam works.Ilaiyaraaja's music is a strange paradox.His simple pieces (like a flute with guitar) are beautiful. And so are his complex pieces too. It is difficult to judge or Aakarshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943886586244410709noreply@blogger.com
