Isai Gani - Mastero Ilayaraja

I always keep wondering what whould have happend to Mani Ratnam's Geethanjali without back ground music (symphony) or the same even with Mounaragam or Abhinandhana without the background score of the vilions and the piano..Punnagai Mannan without "Enna Satha intha Neram" or "chinnathai" from Dalapathi....

Difficult to imagine right? May be this is the reason why Ilayaraja is very special to me.


Most sucessful movies of the 80's and 90's and all I can recollect is IR. Its is considered as the golden era of music. Movies like Agni Natchthram, Nayagan, Anjali, Sitara, Alapana, Apoorva Sagotharargal, Saagara Sangamam, Rudraveena, Moondram Pirai, Shiva, JVAS, etc show tht he is not just a mere composer.He has composed more than 4000 songs in a span of 30 years...
A legendry composer forever in Indian music...For me he is the best in Orchestration and Background score.
A True Genious... A Lengend Forever ...

(P.S Still not completed more to come ...)
