Magic happens not only when David Copperfield gets on stage. Magic happens even when Illayaraja composes. I have said the name..do I need to write anything more? Or is it even possible to write about him and try to fit his accomplishments in this small MWC post? I once saw Mysskin (director, his latest movie being Pisasu) talk about Illayaraja. I though how can someone be so insanely in love with a composer!!! But I also knew that he was probably one of the millions of fans who feel so deeply about him, about his music.
Today we are going to hear his latest composition. This is the first time he has composed for a classical dance drama. It is sung by Abhishek Raghuram. The song is from Sundarar's Thevaram. The violin prelude to Ezhisaiyai is just mesmerizing. This is my pick from the album Swapnam. But do listen to the other songs too. The album is worth a buy.
