Mesmerizing Monday -4


I heard this composition of the great maestro many times in a movie i think it was in the movie "Veedu"  but not the entire composition. I bought this album "How to name it?" four years before, since then atleast once in a week i listen the whole album specially on monday morning.This particular composition "How to name it?" is the celebration of violin's divine sound.I read somewhere that this composition has mixture more than 2 ragas? never mind who wants those details, music must take us to next level thats what this piece does.

Ilaiyaraja is a real genius who brings the divinity to the music,this composition is one such example of his brilliance.For me i can listen this composition any time of the day irrespective of my mood.It just soothes.Still Ilaiyaraja is not getting is due honors, pathetic.If he would have born in some other country , he would have been celebrated far more than what we are doing now.Read in papers that Ilaiyaraja's children are planning to release a remastered version of this album and perform live on stage  on 25th anniversary of the release of this album,waiting for it.

Listen to this wonderful piece and celebrate the maestro..
