Hmmm, this seems very interesting as I like Indian classical music and would like to learn much. Are there any full-length downloads of his compositions?

hi all - i just listened to the recent album of Ilaiyaraaja "Shiva 2006" in Hindi - the song 'Sarah yeh aalam' is a benchmark for fusion/integration of Indian and Western classical idioms of the highest calibre! set in Raag Simhendra Madhyamam, it has an awesome Baroque style strings accompaniment!! the other composition 'dheemi' has brilliant celtic style orchestration accompanying a breezy Indian melody!

Mozart, music and India..
I recently attended a concert by Andrzej Grabiec on violin and Timothy Hester on the Maene fortepiano,
on the occasion of Mozart's Birthday Happy Birthday Mozart and they had performed the six Mozart Kurfurstin
sonatas, at the Dudley Recital Hall, Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts,University of Houston
yesterday evening - it was a truely fascinating experience!
I was particularly intrigued and taken in by one piece - I think it was the first Sonata played after intermission - I thought it had melodic
components that reminded of Indian folk music!
In fact in one of his instrumental albums, namely "Nothing But Wind", Ilaiyaraaja gives a homage to Mozart
by using Raag Kalyani and Mozartian movements as an orchestral score!

hi, i am narayanan from chennai. i visited magle thru a google search result. i was really surprised when i read 'irir123' had published just exactly what i had in my mind about maestro ilayaraja.
yes i also grew up listening to IR. golden days of music. a complete music composer, meaning he has composed for almost every possible 'bhava' or emotion or feeling known to human race. i can not think of any other indian composer who has composed for so many comedy sequences with spellbinding humor effect. take for example, punnagai mannan(theme music for chaplin chellapa) or karagattakaran(theme for the karagatta party).
thanks irir123, i have never posted anything online. i would like to know your profile. my email id is [email protected].

Greetings, I am a follower of Sufi Hazrat Inayat Khan's music and I would like to comment on your post above.
I am sure will agree with me when you look at it in this light, whereas raga is physically based upon melody & rhythm the harmony is the harmony of our souls when spiritual music is heard, harmony with God.
