All my life, I am a great fan of Illayaraja’s music. Recently, I started listening his music more through the ear phones during the workout in gym. I felt like totally jumped in to a world of seventh heaven. He is the man for all moods. His mastermind is fantastic.
In “Boopalam Isaikkum”, the first stanza is full of Piano and the whole song is followed with such a soothing background of Tabala.
Drums in “Muthaaduthey Muthaaduthey” , “Paesa Koodathu”, “Santhana Kaatrae” is ecstatic.
Rhythm in “Paatu thalaivan paadinaan”, “Metti oli kaatrodu” is absolute divine.
I am mentioning these songs just because, I am not aware of his genius in these before hand. These are all just a drop of the ocean.
If songs are of one kind, his BGMs will take you to another world. His BGMs in “Aan Paavam”, “Idayathai Thirudaathey”, “Idhayam”, “En Bommukutti Ammavukku”, “Mouna Raagam”, “Anjali” are heavenly. And the list goes on…
Your lifetime will not be enough to enjoy everything of Illayaraja. Such is his vastness and such is his quality.
He is the Maestro!!!
