Its good to see music directors are praising the work of other music directors. This is healthy...for the cinefield. I recently read..harris complimenting on thiruda thiruda as one of his favourite song. Thats kewl of harris.
This kinda of talk did not exist during illyaraja's reign...he never mentioned that he appreciates any other music director's work..of course the senior ones..but his generation directors... I guess all this happened after ARR came to the scene. He insited that his musicans name be printed in the cover of cassette folders and cds. That changed the whole concept and thinking.But, I guess arr is the only one till now who actually ensures the name of musicians are printed.Thats the big heart of arr. I have not once heard from raja that he appreciates rahman' music...but at least his brother had some compliments for arr. True talent must be appreciated..afterall rahman did learn some from his mentor..and always makes it a point to stress...on raja's guidance When rahman operated the song for punagai manan..raja should have atleast complimented him.... I read somewhere that uttam singh the long time associate of raja..said the first synthesizer was brought by illayaraja...thats aint true..it was arr father who had learnt and brought the synthesizer...well....somehow..i am glad...arr has proven beyond raja's imagination..that...there is more to folk and carnatic...
