Raaja sir is a ONE MAN show. He composes (writes sheet music for every instrument), arranges and conducts as well. He comes from a very humble background from a poor village in Tamilnadu and learnt multiple styles of music in the 60's and 70's from multiple gurus by working 20 hour days. The "playfulness" Rick observed is the signature style of Raaja. As you hear him more you will see. I suggest you react to the "Composers Breath" by Navin Iyer from the album "Nothing but wind". It is about 12-15 mins long. Also you will find that more of Raaja's compositions were recorded in days when equipment was not great. So you have to compensate for the quality of the sound... This was good since it is a modern recording.

[@MrUdayright]

Composer's Breath is my favourite too...👍

[@kakash5513]

Joy in Rick eye's makes me so happy and enjoy the song even more

[@hgravi]

"How to name it " and "nothing but wind" are two classics by illayaraja sir. If you dwell why the name of album is "how to name it" the reference point goes to legend jhon Sebastian Bach (1730)...he did great music....at the same time line in South India, Saint Thyagaraja, muthuswamy dikshitar and Shyama sastry pioneered Carnatic music... There's one piece "vathapi ganapathim"( which you guys reacted ) there's commonality/ slight similarity with Bach composition and illayaraja sir came up with this album "how to name it" ...there's some more songs (and then we had a talk piece)....with reference to Mozart and others. Nothing but wind is amazing album One need to listen complete albums. This albums, illayaraja sir did when he is doing 50+movies a year in 1984,85,86 Regards, Ravindra Kumar hg

[@ananthanarayanan1428]

One thing about Ilaiyaraaja's ('Raja sir' is fine) compositions is that all the orchestrations are his own too. He writes every single note played by every person in the orchestra for all his compositions. Just studying his composing style is a journey on its own.

[@smn4481]

Whenever I have trouble falling asleep, I put on Raja sir's Melodies playlist and sleep comes automatically 😁😁

Please listen to the complete album "How to Name It?" by Raaja Sir. This is one of the best fusion of Indian and Western Classical music! 😊🤗

[@MusicMan-em4fn]

Earlier this year, in an interview with L Subramaniam, Ilaiyaraja mentioned how he expected more offers to compose for symphonies from Europe after his first one was well received .. but he did not get any offers. He explicitly said he expected success to bring more work like it does in India but the West works differently.

[@josephdias7382]

Very unfortunate. Isaignani's Symphony No.1 is the outpouring of an iconoclastic composer, whose spontaneous & instantaneous musical creativity goes berserk, whereby, his scores soar incredibly. Such iconic work, probably didn't go well wth the obdurate traditionalists in the West.
