A CONCERT TO REMEMBER
On Sunday night I had the rare opportunity of watching the recording of the A
R Rahman Concert held at Delhi, which was telecast by StarPlus. It was a super
fantastic and visually stunning show. Rahman is equally versatile in Indian
Classical and Western music. Not only is he a fantastic singer himself, he is
a super composer as well, and the percussion beats set by him are to be seen
and heard to be believed. No wonder he is considered as one of the greatest
musicians of our country.
At the concert a few of his songs were rendered by such versatile singers like
Hariharan, Sadhna Sargam, Kailash Khera and several other young artists whose
names I don't even know. Specially the "Maiyaa, Maiyaa" song from the film
"Guru" rendered by the beautiful young singer was unbelievable. Earlier I've
heard many singers sing this song and always thought I liked them. But this
was set to the original A R Rahman's heart pulsating music to the percussion
beats of the great Sivamani accompanied by stunning stage performance. It
couldn't get better and one would wish it will go on forever and ever.
All in all, it was a concert I'll remember for a long long time. Now I know the
accolades showered on Rahman are truly justified. He deserves all of it and
more. It is a matter of pride for us that this great musician belongs to our
country.
